A response to visual impairment
Several concerns have been raised: there is no autonomy in learning braille and there are high drop-out rates due to tedious methods which struggle to motivate the learner on a daily basis.
Br'eye project acts on these two domains by allowing the player to autonomously learn Braille in a recreational manner.
The product is based on a first section in which the user is taught Braille in a traditional way, and a second one in which he/she trains by touching Braille on a regular basis.
How does it work ?
The Device prompt for a word through a generated vocal
The user input his answer using the tokens
Br'Eye corrects his reply

Because a project never happens without supports
In order to develop Br'Eye, we enlisted the help of professionals pedagogical educators to develop complete Braille courses.
From the beginning, we collaborated hand in hand with over a hundred people, especially with the Chiens Guide de l'Est, the Fédération des Aveugles d'Alsace Lorraine and a multitude of actors specialized in this field.
Thus, all our tests, so far successful, have been spent with visually impaired and partially sighted individuals.
Design for inclusion
We designed the user experience to be optimal for any visually impaired user. The system aims to be practical, reliable and intuitive.
However, the idea behind the project is not to design an inclusive product, but to think about inclusion in a global environment.
Indeed, manufacturing will be done by local subcontracting and committed to diversity, with the help of the ESAT of Metz, an Establishment and Service of Aid by Work.
