More photos of the worlds first camera designed for the blind First reported on here a couple weeks ago, we have found additional photos of the Samsung camera designed for the blind.

Designer Chueh Lee at Samsung China has designed what may be the worlds first camera for the blind, the "Touch Sight".

One interesting aspect discovered by Chueh in his research is that holding the camera to the forehead is the optimal position for this device. He discovered that "at the Center for the Blind in Herzliya, Israel, the instructor who teaches a photography course for the visually impaired discovered that holding the camera to the forehead, like a third eye, is the best way for them to stabilize and aim the camera. The instructor also found the visually impaired have no problems estimating distances, since their sense of hearing is especially sharp. Every rustle of wind in the trees catches their attention and can be used to judge distances. Other senses come into play as well. The heat of the sun or a lamp in a living room, for example, signals a direct source of light. They regularly use their non-visual senses to feel the world and manifest it into a mental photograph."
