definitely interesting. I guess I don’t fully get why the blind would want digital photos. For friends an family I guess. They just need a digital frame that auto syncs with the camera now. Too bad the audio files can’t be embedded in the photos.
Camera for the Blind
Tech Buzz A digital camera designed for visually impaired people has a unique feature which records sound for three seconds after pressing the shutter button. The sound is used as a reference when reviewing and managing the photos. Umm, I re-read that paragraph twice and I still don’t get it. But it sounds cool nonetheless.

It means that it triggers the blind person’s memory with the sound that was present during that time they took the shot.
