Books for the blind at LG’s high tech library

Join.com Says It didn’t matter that red carpets were not rolled out yesterday for the opening of the LG Digital Talking Book Library ― after all, its users are blind. Rigged with networking technology, the LG Sangnam Library in Wonseo-dong, central Seoul celebrated its renewal as an audio library with infrastructure for the visually impaired.

Using computing technology such as radio frequency identification chips, blind people are able to access the library’s digital “talking books” through mobile phones, the Internet or fixed-line telephones.
