Are there blind users of hackernews here that could answer to the probably stupid question:
Would you be able to "perceive" a picture if that picture was engraved on a surface ?
This does not look like Braille to me. Braille is a system that uses cells composed of six (or eight) dots. This is just dots strewn all over the place.
Reminds me of this relatively new device in the space though: https://store.humanware.com/hca/monarch-the-1st-dynamic-tact...
Here's my more-or-less decade old “image to braille converter”: https://max-m.github.io/misc/braille/index.html
The source code is unminified and unobfuscated.
Another somewhat similar toy is https://max-m.github.io/InstaECB/index.html :)
stupid. maybe post something you actually made instead of telling a computer to make.
