The guess

How braille labels might make things more useful (reprise)

Everywhere we go we see words—lots of words. But if you can’t see and all you can read is braille our world is really pretty bare. No wonder there’s a “crisis” in braille literacy. People have different theories on what went wrong, but it makes sense to suspect that not having any braille on ordinary things might play a role. If designers could treat braille as just another tool maybe we could help reverse the crisis.
