Touchable Memories: This Company 3D-Prints Old Photos To Help The Blind Re-Experience Memories

Quote:“Touchable Memories” is an experiment that aims to help the blind physically re-experience visual memories using 3D printers. This project, which was developed by LOLA for the Singapore-based company Pirate3D, tested 3D printing technology in an unexplored field and achieved incredible results.

I am speaking of the life of a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children; who has undertaken to cherish it and do it no damage, not because he is duty-bound, but because he loves the world and loves his children… - Wendell Berry, 1971

That's quite interesting.
Can't imagine I could guess as to what those objects were if I couldn't see them.

I have to say though I don't really get it blonde.gif

Memories are in your mind, I can close my eyes and remember stuff. Why would you need a 3D model of your memories just because you're blind?

Because if you left your eyes closed long enough you would eventually only remember darkness.

From watching the faces of the people touching the 3D image, they seem well pleased.

Well it's basically what the blind people in the video said. bleh.gif

Do you have pics of your kids growing up? Why? Because memories aren't good enough. Hell, I can barely remember what this thread is about!
