Jewelry That Teaches
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Bracelets are the rage when it comes to cognitive design. I can get a bracelet to show solidarity with a cause (e.g. cancer awareness), help me change my behaviors and habits, to act as a reminder, to provide medical alerts, to friend someone and assist with other cognition intense goals and activities.
A reader recently sent a link to a story about how the Braille Bracelet won the 2010 People’s Choice design award.
The bracelet is designed to support the process of learning to read braille. Each tile has an engraved letter of the English alphabet on one side and the corresponding braille symbol on the other side. It is a wrist-side guide for translation that is also very stylish.
