| + | A '''Braille e-Book''' is a stand-alone Braille display capable of displaying the equivalent number of lines of a book page at a time. To achieve this, electro-magnets or heated wax, rather than pins, mechanically move to represent the points of Braille letters. Although the technology is not particularly expensive, the low production volumes of these devices make them very expensive. A Korean concept designed by Yanko Design caught the eye in 2009. In 2013, an English prototype called "Anagraphs" funded by the European Union failed to reach the production stage. The Australian company Blitab has announced the production, for the 4th quarter of 2016 of a Braille e-Book tablet, at an expected price of around 3000 €. | ||

In July 2015, Korea's Cheonan-Si launched its first 100-character Braille model, '''the Tactis100''' (4 lines of 25 characters), which has set the standard for a market focused on 20- to 80-character devices.

Project description
BrailleRap is a 3D printer hack able to emboss Braille on paper or cardboard (even on plastic sheets of about 100 microns).
It was developed in less than 3 days during the Fabrikarium, a hackathon organized by My Human Kit with Airbus SAS, by a team of volunteers composed of:
* Hugues Aubin, MyHumanKit manager, * Arthur Masson, member of IDLV, * Damien Canac, Saint Gobain team, * Simon Descarpentries, computer science engineer, manager of Acoeuro.com * Yassine El Yacoubi, BNP Paribas * Élodie Fourment, student at Airbus highschool * Arezki Gastaud, ballet dancer and computer science engineer at via CapGemini, * François Le Berre, Airbus Safran, space observation R&D
You need a 3D printer capable of reading gcode (for example a reprap) in order to test of improve this prototype.
The concept is simple: we will first print a 3D nozzle for our printer to hold a customized nail. This object will convert our 3D printer into a Braille embosser.
A dedicated webpage enables to compute the required gcode to move the head to emboss our text.

Reminder on the use of a Braille tablet
A traditional Braille tablet consists of a metal plate pre-embossed with several lines of Braille characters, themselves composed of 3 lines of 2 points, or hollow. The tablet is also equipped with pointed lugs at regular intervals around the edge of the tablet.
To this plate is added a frame perforated so that the holes correspond to the lugs of the plate. It is thus possible to hold securely in place a sheet of paper perforated by the lugs and retained by the frame. The holes made by the lugs also allow to release and reposition exactly the embossed sheets.
The sheets used are preferably thick paper, 160 g / m 2. It is quite possible to recycle paper, magazine covers, cardboard folders ...
Once the sheet is positioned, a small ruler is embedded on the frame / flap, positioned on pins pointing from outside of the frame. This small ruler has two sets of windows, each guiding the needle that will emboss the sheet, point by point.
As part of the initial realization of the Braille Rap project, being accompanied by a visually impaired person who knew how to use such a tablet was essential. In particular to establish the following examples.
Depth of Braille holes
A series of measurements were made on Braille letters embossed using a traditional Braille tablet.
- Depth of a point:
- Measure: 0.35mm
- Theory: 0.48mm
- Spacing between two points of a letter:
- Measure: 2,7mm
- Theory: 2,3mm
Theoretical values are taken from: [Braille Authority of North America]
We thus observe that the question dealt with here is a question of precision, the aim being to produce hollows of half a millimeter in paper.
