Stuff Made Here
Stuff Made Here builds a device that lets a blind person perceive their surroundings by touch, using an iPad's lidar and a mechanical tactile display driven by motors. The video walks through the build and the limits he hit.
HN admires the maker's engineering and cites it in accessibility discussions, especially for the limits of sensory resolution versus perception.
