[DFC] W1: Clock for blind person
Brainstorming in the class.

1. Before start thinking, I closed my eye and took several minutes to experience how blind person feel and what does time mean for them and so on.

2. Several ideas:
- low level voice recognition: "what time?", clock answers the time by audio. also be able to set alarm with voice recognition since it will be hard to set alarm for them.
- beep sound every 15min (like bell at church)
- auto-synchronization: maybe they can't easily adjust the clock
- enable to read with hand or fingers using Braille.
- gesture recognition: they also don't know where the clock is. so that they do some action in their room for activate the clock.


deeper thinking.

- in the five senses, smell, taste, sight cannot be used. only touch, hearing can be used.
- but, is it real that smell and taste are unavailable? (I think so.)

more to come.
