LEGO creates audio and braille instructions for blind kids


Blind and visually impaired children can now enjoy LEGO just as much as their sighted friends do, thanks to the Danish company's audio and braille building instructions.

"While these instructions show radical innovation, there’s still a lot of progress to be made in terms of further developing the AI software and automating the process. The long term ambition is to add more languages and support all future product launches - most importantly however, is to ensure fun and high quality learning through play experiences."

The service is currently available for free through the LEGO Audio Instructions site. It's still in pilot stage but, depending on consumer feedback, the company will launch more audio and braille instructions next year.

The trailer looks promising, but few had high hopes for an adaptation of Scott Turow's first novel that had already spawned a Harrison Ford flick 34 years ago. Ah, 1990…the Gulf War. It was the year when I was afraid to go to birthday parties for fear that everyone would start singing Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back . 1990 was the year when I caught mumps and chickenpox. It was the year when no one was quite sure what happened between my science teacher and my classmate's dad, but they were sure happy about it. A reason to see Presumed Innocent is the amazing performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp. A reason not to see it is if you're already very familiar with the book and the movie.
