Case Enables The iPad To Generate Braille

Of the many uses one can think of for the iPad, being useful to a blind person probably wouldn’t appear on most people’s list. Yanko Design has a concept of a cover for the iPad that transforms its flat surface into braille. The Omnifer, which is the name for this innovative cover, is a 2011 IDEA Award entry.

The cover has a three panel flip design that allows the user to switch between braille and standard operation.
