Hi,
As part of my work within the framework of Hangar 18 I'm working on some
projects related to "Blind and Haptic Computing", in particular we're
looking at blind developers of Lego Mindstorms and what they need. As part
of that I realize that we need a mechanism to describe Lego robots
non-visually so that two different visually impaired developers build the
same bot from the same description. This must be compatible with useage
on/by a computer.
Anybody know of any standards or work in describing mechanisms with the
epxress intent of aiding blind developers (I'm thinking of mechanical
goals here and not traditional computing work)? Anybody done any work with
traditional Lego models and the non-visual community? Every heard of a
blind mechanical engineer?
I'm utterly ignorant in this field and trying to get a toe hold.
Thanks.

| I finished a CAD of the module used in Bugger. You should be able to build Bugger from that. It can be downloaded here: (URL) are several pictures of the module, the CAD file, parts list, and a notepad file that explains it in a little more detail, (...)
