Published: May 30, 2017, 2:14 a.m.

Imagine a device which instantly converts print to Braille, just by lying the device on top of a printed page. That’s what a team of talented MIT students have been working on, with Project Tactile. Jonathan Mosen speaks with two of the students, Charlene Xia and Tania Yu. He also speaks with Paul Parravano, Co-director of Government and Community Relations at MIT. Paul is blind, and has been providing advice to the Project Tactile team. Paul also talks about some of the work he is doing at MIT.
