盲文识别卡片
The Visual Assistance Card

想象一下盲人的感受吧，如果你是个盲人，要去商店买一些东西。当你全部挑好了以后正准备买单的时候发现你的钱包里没有现金，所以你马上想到了用信用卡付账。然而现在的信用卡都是数字化的，连密码输入也是触摸屏的，所以你得叫收银员帮你输入密码，是不是很不方便？Kyle Lechtenberg在设身处地地为盲人们着想后设计了Visual Assistance Card这个盲文识别卡片。卡片是拿来放在读卡器的屏幕上方，盲人朋友可以根据上面打印的盲文来输入信用卡密码。他十分轻便而且不需要的时候简单地拿下来储存就行了。

Imagine being blind for a minute, and you have to go to the store to pick up a few things. You have everything in your basket ready to be checked out and since you have no cash in your pocket, you whip out the old trustworthy debit card. However, since debit/credit card machines have pretty much gone all digital, you will have to trust the clerk to help you with entering your private information. Yeah, pretty scary huh? Kyle Lechtenberg, an Industrial Design grad from Auburn University - WAR EAGLE! - placed himself in the shoes of the visually impaired and has created the Visual Assistance Card. The card lays on top of the debit/credit card reader and through the use of Braille imprinted on the card, the user is able to keep their personal information private thus increasing their independence while shopping in any store. The Visual Assistance Card is light weight and can be easily stored out of the way until future use. Definitely designed for usability - a must in today’s world.
