    Quick clarification on some comments made in the video - when I mentioned this is a new system/language for LEGO, I meant in the context of the LEGO system that this has never been done before, not that LEGO invented braille (of course). Sorry for the confusion!

    Very cool new product! To clarify- this is just existing braille on a 2x4 brick- not a new language or new version of braille

    I just received my set of braille Lego bricks yesterday. I am totally blind and learned braille when I was young. The studs on the bricks seem to me to be a kind of jumbo braille. Jumbo braille might be used by those who have issues with sensativity in their fingers. When I opened my box, I found 4 bags of legos and 2 basses to put the legos on. The box did have braille on it, but it was faint and not as clear and sharp as I might have wished. I could read the braille on the box which said scan your code to play, and also braille lego bricks. I'll have to be careful with the bricks because they are small and when I'm on the floor playing with them, I don't want to nock a brick under my bed or accidentally push it somewhere where I can't find it. This concept is interesting I'm not exactly sure how I'll use them as I already know braille. I've never been all that good at reading jumbo braille, so this will be an interesting experience. I have to make sure I have each lego oriented properly so the dots I read are in the correct order. I can read the letter y good enough and a few of the other letters. It is fun to put the legos on the bass.

    In my country there are those learning 'suitcases', for learning to count and spell. They contain plates with the individual numbers/letter on top with individual nub patterns on the backside and task-sheets with corresponding hole pattern for the required numbers/letters to put the plates in. I think Lego could easily use that idea for Braille and their studs just by having the required sheet be two parts: one with the task/term/Word/sentence as base and the solution to be put on top to see if the studs allign with the holes.

    I personally am looking forward to using this. As a lifelong LEGO fan who is losing my sight, I've been dreading learning Braille. I can currently still build my sets with magnifyers and lots of lights. Surgery for my eye condition is improving, so I have lots of hope. Still I have been advised to learn Braille. Thanks for review Chris and thanks TLG!

    I saw something in your video that you missed. You probably don’t realize it was there but I am sure you can fix it ASAP before someone else can see the same. In time frame of video :23 and a few other times I saw a blank space. A small section of wall that was bare. No Lego was covering it. How can this be ?

    Sorry if this is rude or stupid. How is theblind suposse to play with the bricks? How do they know what color the piece is or, I am confused. So this is not to build with Lego but to learn braille?

    • @Bionickpunk

      Colors are irrelevant, what matters are the protruding Lego studs and the different combinations that make a letter.

    • @shawndavis7862

      I think the colors might be for the sighted. If I have a blind sibling, it would help me find the vowels or symbols more quickly if I was helping them with play/learning

      The Legos can build just like regular Legos and can interact with other Lego sets. The color is fun because, it's Lego and this wasn't just created to teach the blind but sighted as well.
      When I started learning braille it was only available as raised white dots on white paper, of course but this gives the sighted person a migraine and is very difficult to decipher when first learning because the braille dots are so small.

    I guess I just don’t understand their purpose? Like are you supposed to build with weird-studded bricks or organize them to say words? Cool idea but I am struggling with their practicality. Also, that’s an apostrophe, not an asterisk.

    • @yumbream
      @yumbream 11 місяців тому +5

      It's basically a learning tool for blind kids to get familliar with the alphabet, the same way kids with vision might play with wooden alphabet blocks to make words.

    • @shawndavis7862
      @shawndavis7862 11 місяців тому

      I see this as the magnet letters most families had pre 1980. You would practice spelling in the kitchen on the fridge while mom or grandma cooked and cleaned. You could learn to read without having the physical ability to write.
