Braille Methods (self.Blind)
submitted by LordFluffins
I'm sighted so I do hope I don't say anything rude here. This may be a strange question, but when reading braille is by reading the bumps that go up. Is it also possible to read bumps that go down? IE: sinkholes instead of hills.
​
Thank you!
​
PS: I saw the rule about making these accessible but I do not know how if someone could also put that in the comments for if this thread continues?
​
EDIT: Thank you guys so much fro your quick responses!

Not really. I can't think of anyone who can feel a tiny divot that accurately at all. In fact, interpoint braille actually relies on you on being able to feel divots, so they can print braille on both sides of the sheet.

No, that wouldn't be efficient, and very hard to read.

No.
When Braille is produced for textbooks and other larger materials, it is embossed in Interpol the, meaning that Braille is available on both sides of the page. This saves paper and space. But, also, it does not interfere with the reader’s ability to read the Braille on either side of the page.

No, it's much harder to read. This is why braille is never produced like this.

So I've never tried the sinkholes method though I am sure it's possible.
I have a good friend who hates the double sided Braille pages because she says she can always feel the sinkholes from the reverse page.
I once knew an inventor and he was trying to come up with a brand new version of a Braille display that would be cheaper to manufacture and it used thermal heat to encode Braille on a screen.
