Idea of Braille for ComfyUI for the visually impaired to imagine a world of their own

I thought of something uncommon!

As Comfy supports TTS, it could also support Braille! Would be so cool... not for me, but for people who are actually visually impaired.

I bet a lot of people would be happy if comfy implemented this and other visually-impaired tools.

Imagine a visually impaired person producing images of what he thinks the world looks like simply by using the interface of comfy, with a different CSS so it displays properly on their braille tablet.

I always been fascinated with adaptive technologies even thought I'm healthy and in a whole single piece.

The braille tablets that are developed in universities are supposed to be capable of drawing full interfaces and probably also have push buttons and drag and drop but I seen more modern devices for the broader public which have visual light screen behind too for non-blind people to see... This is a domain in perpetual development.

As AIs are mostly developed in renowned universities, I'm persuaded that developers will find colleague universitarian individuals who are impassioned by assistive technologies in their close relatives

While this is niche, this is also essential and while there mightn't be masses of budget in it, it's an important thing do do than to make computers have wide accessibility features, more than just a chore.

It's like the fact of teaching sign language... As there's not tons of money into that, hearing impaired or mute people are at risk of lacking competent teachers to teach them sign language. Sometimes things have to be done wherever the money's at. It's some kind of a chore and it's okay like that.

I propose developers would contact various professionals in the domain of sign language, braille and assistive technologies related institutions and organisms in Asia, America and Europe as the standards varies.

After, they can communicate with people in the blind programmer community which could be of a serious helping hand in order to implement Braille CSS and other TTS assistant cues in the HTML.

Blind programmer community is an actual real thing.

Personally, I won't benefit, but might enjoy seeing the result nonetheless. It's selfless.

seeing the world through the eyes of a visually impaired artist would be a huge move forward for their emancipation. As they don't know colours and are more about shapes, it would be very unique.

With this device, visually impaired could visually see the art they generate using marigold depth in comfy

Visually impaired people making art would be so great!

Then people could describe what they see and it would make them create social bounds!
