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.

That's neat!

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

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.

Do you think so?

I don't believe it.

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

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!

Mankind was never meant to feel memories.

This will be our demise.
