This is an accessory necessary for braille users to work with a computer or operate a cellphone. Shot with available light in a convention center in LA. The braille "keys" in the top of the photo will move up and down in the correct pattern of 8 possible positions to represent each letter and character. The other function keys in the foreground also work for navigation tasks. To learn more about these devices, see this wikipedia article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_Braille_display

Accommodations and accessibility for people who are blind have really come a long way. And what great engineering design too ~ high tech and aesthetics even.
