Touchable Pen is a writing instrument designed for the visually impaired. Raised Braille dots are printed when the nib touches any surface. It subverts traditional Braille writing, transforming subtractive manufacturing into additive manufacturing, and reverse writing into forward writing. The Touchable Pen uses low-cost technology to improve both the equity and efficiency of the writing experience for blind people.
