Braille Emoticons is an attempt to build a bridge to visual language for the visually impaired. People who use Braille are forced to use the letters of the alphabet to describe their emotions. This became a starting point to design an addition to the Braille alphabet, based on our visualised emotions into emoticons, converted into the ‘dot’ language that characterises Braille. To avoid confusion with the traditional braille alphabet of a grid of 12 dots, this emoticon addition to the Braille alphabet is developed in a grid of 9 dots, fitting well with the square structure of the emoticon symbols.
