Braille
Braille signages in kitchen | |
this idea is not even half baked ... i am about to put it in oven .. eh ok lame.alright been thinking about this for while how about designing symbols on the kichten cabinet knobs and have some braille letters so that it's not hard for the visually impaired to locate something when he/she is new in the
kitchen.for eg.spices could be denoted by some tactile symbol.

While I appreciate the idea, I don't have a lot of blind people wandering into my house. Not a bad idea though if, God forbid, a blind burgler got hungry and couldn't find the cumin. |

Welcome.
Cool.
If I may make a suggestion; the title "braille" is fairly nondescript, after all you didn't invent braille so how about something like "braille knobs" or "knobraille". |
|
| |
surely 'spices' might be best signified with 'spices' written in Braille in the appropriate language? |
|
| |
No, No. Once the lift is summoned, the labrador pushes the correct floor button. |

Are you suggesting the everybody should use these knobs just incase a blind person needs to use your kitchen? If a blind person is in any "new" place regardless of knobs or braille, they still need to learn the area. This idea is mostly baked in the sense that there are plenty of blind friendly kitchen options available, including a pen that marks just about any surface with braille. |

lol yeah u're right one has to explore the knobs too but the whole deal is making things more accessible for example how about u put a map on the kitchen door explaining that the microwave is on the left or the fridge is on right.I'm thinking of a house designed on the lines of accessible design catering to blind people.oh what it would be to create something that stimulates
our rest of the senses. |

Just have a PA system the runs on a loop. |

"Normal cutlery - top draw. |
|
| |
"Bigger cutlery items - next draw down. |
|
| |
"Food wrap and folded tea towels - third draw down. |
|
| |
"Two rubber bands and a plastic bag - bottom draw." |
|
| |
Etcetera. Naturally it would be exceedingly loud, and would repeat each item in several languages. |

They should use braille-like signage everywhere - For instance on the indicator, windscreen-wiper and head-lamp stalks on car steering wheels, too. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference - Especially if you're blind. |

I have a nephew who is legally blind and visits infrequently enough to need a little guidance in my kitchen. If these were cleverly made to look like decorations it could be killing 2 birds w/ one stone. Also, if you are blind you might have more blind friends than the average person, and this could help them find their way around, as well. |

My favorite is the braille they use on the drive-thru ATM. Now that's scary! |
|
| |
I bet blind folks sniff out the spices. My one eye is pretty good, and I sniff them out myself. |
