Turn It Over

This demonstration illustrates the importance of the layout of a keyboard to using braille, which is highly dependent on its spatial arrangement. The design and layout of a keyboard for entering braille changes the mental effort required to transform the dots prior to inputting the braille cells. The design of two keyboards that can be used for entering braille onto an electronic device are contrasted for the demonstration. Keyboard 1 has the dots on the top and Keyboard 2 has the dots underneath. Each has inherent advantages and disadvantages.
