对视觉残障人群来说,如何准确地把握时间是一个难题。虽然看不见,但他们在触觉上特别灵敏,结合这一特点,毕业于哈佛设计学院的Nick Gu开发了第一款为视障人群设计的可以触摸的手表——The Bradly。手表用表面、表侧的两颗钢珠替代了传统的分针与时针,表盘上的12点是一个小小的三角标,而在3、6、9点的位置采用了加长标识。别担心滚珠会跑偏,只要轻轻晃动手表,滚珠就会瞬间被隐藏在表内的磁铁吸附到原来的位置。这款手表不仅具有基本的防水功能,碰上下雨时也不用担心进水。这款已经成为大英博物馆永久藏品的The Badly手表,不仅

In conjunction with this characteristic, Nick Gu, who graduated from the Harvard School of Design, developed the first touch-enabled watch designed for the visually impaired, The Bradly. The watch replaced the traditional minute and hour hands with two steel balls on the surface and the front side. The 12 points on the dial were small triangles, and the 3, 6, and 9 points had longer marks. Don’t worry about the ball’s deviation. Simply shake the watch and the ball will be instantly absorbed by the magnet hidden in the watch. This watch not only has a basic waterproof function, so you don’t have to worry about water when it comes to rain. This Badly watch, which has become a permanent collection of the British Museum, is not only
