That watch is solving a problem that doesn't exist for me as a blind person. They had plans for a sub $1000 braille display. That would have solved something. Not this. And can you be a little led ableist? Only 10% of blind people have zero vision.

Also, only a relative small percentage of blind people are braille literate.

@anantagd @glennsorrentino Nobody is ableist' here and neither were people generalized in the original post. You're creating problems and accusations out of thin air.

"It's a beautifully looking device, of course this is meaningless to blind people." See above. The entire fixation on technology in this case is due to #ableism. Blindness is a spectrum. Acting as if this device solves any problem for blind people is ridiculous. I've been following this co ever since they made a lot of noise about a refreshable braille display that never materialized. And now they have their watch that no one can ever buy.

@anantagd That was never said in this way anywhere. You're changing a quote so it can be exaggerated, making it sound like ableism. Stop this.

Also you're blindsplaining accessibility to me.

@anantagd @glennsorrentino Lol yeah sure, because I mentioned accessibility in my post so often, aside from criticizing you spouting accusations senselessly.
You're just a jerk looking for trouble. πŸ™„

@anantagd thanks for the callout. I updated the post’s language: β€œβ€¦braille interface for blind users…”
