everyday problems (self.Blind)
submitted by Iang9616
hi there, i'm a student at the Colorado school of mines. my partner and i are trying to build a device that assists the blind and visual imparted in day-to-day life. we wanted to know what are the hardest parts of your day and how can we help solve these problems. any feed back is welcome!

update: we are looking to make a device that can incorporate a micro processor that has sensor input and hopefully some sort of output(whether it be tactile of auditory).

Something to help with touch screen like cooking appliances. My oven and microwave are completely smooth and my braille labels keep falling off the flat buttons

I have a hard time unlocking doors with my keys. Finding the right key and getting it in the lock takes me a while lol

I agree with the suggestion from the other post. My wife and I have a bread maker that has menus that wrap around and remember your last selection, even when you turn the thing off, making it almost impossible to memorize a consistent order of button presses to activate options.
