“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
A Drawing Tool For Visually Impaired People
CREAJOR features an interactive design tailored to the reading habits of visually impaired students. The students can perceive images by touching a display screen with raised dots, supplemented by shortcut keys with voice prompts. These features cater to the visually impaired’s reliance on touch and hearing.
The product boasts a user-friendly design, equipped with functional buttons that aid in drawing and annotating with ease and precision. The pen tip position is displayed in real-time, facilitating quick and accurate location. A numeric keypad quantifies line lengths for precise drawing, while the pen’s unique triangular shape prevents it from rolling away. Additionally, its magnetic feature ensures the pen is always secure and within reach.
To enable visually impaired students to draw freely, the pen utilises an optical translation measurement sensor, allowing it to draw on any flat surface. The results are displayed in real-time on the dot matrix display screen, breaking spatial limitations and providing an enhanced drawing experience. CREAJOR transforms the drawing experience for visually impaired students, making it intuitive and accessible.
