Australian designer, Rob Caslick has taken home an award in Milan for his 'Lights for the blind' concept - where LEDs are used in the writing of Braille.

Did you know that 90% of people diagnosed as blind can see light? A blind person with light perception has the chance to read the Braille using their sight.

The use of LEDs also allows a blind person with no light perception to read the tips of the LEDs as they would regular Braille. Read more here.
