The new e-Sullivan is a new portable computer that converts all types of printed materials into Braille. Not only it can convert into Braille, but also provide assistance with such computer-related tasks, such as instant messaging and web browsing. The device is thin and very durable composed of rubber and a plastic resin shell.
e-Sullivan is very simple to use. The middle, ring and little fingers are what you would use to type the Braille. While the thumbs are used for the scrolling wheel and the mode button.Taeho Wang, the genius designer, has created e-Sullivan concept with hope to be able to lower the wall between deaf-blind people and the world. e-Sullivan has been nominated for the Business Week International Design Excellence award.
