设想你闭上眼睛一会，还要去商店卖点东西。当你找齐所有的物品，但是发觉没有带现金，只好使用信用卡。但是信用卡收款机是数字显示的，你不得不求助于收银员输入私人信息，很不安全。奥本大学毕业的外号“战鹰”的工业设计师Kyle Lechtenberg 发明了这个视觉辅助卡。把这个卡放到收银机的屏幕上，卡上的具有盲文的按键和屏幕显示相对应，就可以输入个人信息了。它重量轻方便携带，实用，是必备物品。

Imagine being blind for a minute, and you have to go to the store to pick up a few things. You have everything in your basket ready to be checked out and since you have no cash in your pocket, you whip out the old trustworthy debit card. However, since debit/credit card machines have pretty much gone all digital, you will have to trust the clerk to help you with entering your private information. Yeah, pretty scary huh? Kyle Lechtenberg, an Industrial Design grad from Auburn University - WAR EAGLE! - placed himself in the shoes of the visually impaired and has created the Visual Assistance Card. The card lays on top of the debit/credit card reader and through the use of Braille imprinted on the card, the user is able to keep their personal information private thus increasing their independence while shopping in any store. The Visual Assistance Card is light weight and can be easily stored out of the way until future use. Definitely designed for usability - a must in today’s world.
