Blind Radio

Designers Sam Hecht, Durrell Bishop and Andre Klauser have created a radio called the R1 Radio, intended to help the blind.







The radio, instead of having traditional knobs and a readout telling you the station, is all contained in one tiny box with four small wheels mounted underneath. The wheels control the tuning and the volume, making it easier to fine tune a station or change the volume level. Pretty neat. More over at Design Boom.

Picture keyboard



Chris DeLorenzo has made a keyboard with pictures instead of the alphabet. I'll elt him explain - "We used to learn our alphabets by reading those classroom banners that associated each letter with an animal or object. These days as kids become increasingly computer dependent at an early age I thought it was about time to adapt an old method to a new medium. From cultural icons to greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set will advance the alphabetical knowledge of any child, or adult."

Here's a picture of what it might look like...
