The Smart watch dot transmits messages from the smartphone, allows easy navigation, has an alarm clock, is a fitness tracker and shows the time. Thanks to a mechanical Braille screen, Dot is now also a smartwatch for the blind.
As is well known, wearables are mainly used to display content. Now the South Korean company Dot wants to revolutionize the market with a smartwatch for the blind. The "Dot" is the first watch to combine the world's best-known Braille with the functions of a conventional smartwatch: checking messages, tweets or short messages, control via touch sensors or Bluetooth 4.1. A special feature of the watch is the learning program for Braille, which enables visually impaired people who cannot read to learn the writing on their own. According to company statistics, only 5 percent of the blind are able to read Braille. Enormous costs for devices that can use the font and a very small number of available texts add to the difficulty.
The external shape is reminiscent of a fitness tracker, as the display is relatively long in order to be able to show as much information as possible. Since no lighting or an energy-intensive display have to be operated with the battery, the battery life of ten hours is relatively long. It should be noted that this means the display of texts, not the normal operating time in passive mode. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not provide this. The speed at which the pens emerge from behind the surface and then disappear again can be adjusted. Dot can also play e-books and is therefore a comparatively inexpensive reading device. The watch is compatible with both iOS and Android devices - a connection to a mobile device is required to use the full range of functions. The smartwatch is said to cost 300 US dollars - compared to other devices that cost 2000 US dollars, this is relatively cheap. It is still unclear when the watch will be launched, Pre-orders are to be accepted this year...

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
