The Latest Thing in Fast Food: Edible Braille

Wimpy, a restaurant found an interesting way to let visually impaired customers know that they have Braille menus handy in all of their locations. To spread the word they made impressions of Braille messages on hamburger buns, with words spelled out in sesame seeds.
A video promoting the effort shows Wimpy sandwich artisans using tweezers to painstakingly place each individual seed on each bun. The specialized burgers bearing various messages about burger authenticity (“100% pure beef!”) were brought to three Braille institutions for future customers to enjoy.

Awesome idea 🙂

LG Japan shows off phone design concept winners, cool concepts :)

During the recent Tokyo Designers Week event, LG Japan displayed the winning concept phones of their Mobile Design Contest. Have a look in to these cool concepts which may be upcoming future phones and how they are emotionally attached with our daily life style and uses. I really like the concept of braile phone model “fbt” which featured a braille keypad, while the entire back of the phone does double-duty as a braille display and keypad. Users can send and receive text messages in braille.

wow 🙂
