One of the world’s most loved toys just became more accessible to visually impaired players, thanks to audio and braille instructions. The Lego Foundation was approached by 22-year-old Matthew Shifri (who initiated the idea due to his own visual disability) and quickly responded to the need.
In order to help scale the idea presented by blind entrepreneur Matthew Shifri, Lego worked together with him and the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
Through teamwork they created audio and braille building instructions which now gives those with disabilities the ability to enjoy the LEGO creative play experience.
