Week 6 - Text and Braille

This week, I started work on figuring out how to use the MakerBot and OpenSCAD coding to merge extrusion of alphanumeric characters and Braille. This is significant because not very many of the population with visual impairments cannot read Braille, so this can extend the Viztouch program to make it more readable to a wider audience (even to sighted people). I also made my own library of Braille characters in the OpenSCAD programming language. One of the aspects of my Braille library is the ability to change the height, diameter, and area of the Braille characters. Throughout the week, I experimented with the size of the Braille characters, printing out each Alpha-Braille letter with the MakerBot.
