Change of Idea development
As of now I was developing towards my idea for attempting to enable braille use using 3D Touch on touch screen smart phones. I have found that I am unable to carry on with the development for this idea.
I decided to physically play around with my own iPhone, using the 3D Touch and testing the vibration patterns when I put pressure down upon the screen. I found the the receptor patterns weren’t as I thought. The vibrations are distributed through out the phone and are based upon the metal edge rather than beneath the screen which I initially thought. The vibrations are sent towards the direction of the phone where you press, mimicking the effect of vibrations beneath where you are in fact pressing.
Due to this discovery I feel it’s best if I develop my secondary idea of using illustration as I feel trying to create a workable technology for braille devices isn’t feasible for my skillset and I won’t have the available resources to develop it further.
