The conceptual 'TEXT.ure' memo device has been designed by Seunghyun Ko as a solution for blind individuals to use as a way to read notes and more in public in a private manner.
Many solutions exist to help users read notes without the need for eyesight like voice assistants, but will openly read content for all to hear. The device has a clamshell design that opens to reveal a braille display that will change according to the content being displayed. This will provide users a discreet way to read notes in public or even noisy environments.
The conceptual 'TEXT.ure' memo device features only a few physical controls including buttons along the side to allow for a very intuitive user experience.
