Brail fails
I was looking at my WiiMote the other day and I noticed something: there is brail right above the lights telling you which player you are. FAIL
There is also brail above the words at drive through atms. WHAT BLIND PERSON DRIVES?
Any other places where brail is a fail?

Wiimotes don't have a set player number...

Re: Brail fails
At bathrooms and stuff. Pretty much anywhere it's not in a book.
Do blind people spend years mastering where to find the bathroom signs?

If you're blind, you can't tell what number you are just by touching the light.

TV's have capabilities for blind and deaf people (narration/audio description for the blind, closed captioning for the deaf). I don't think it's silly to have braille on a TV remote. ^^
Everything is better when you add a little cheddar, because when you have cheese your life is at ease

Yep.
Also, I checked the WiiMote, no braille at all. Heck, it's not even embossed!

Re: Brail fails
Braille is useful for all of these mentions considered stupid.
ATMs have braille because some blind people are guided around, and their guides, usually relatives or spouses, don't keep the money. My uncle is blind, and has to go to the atm regularly with my aunt.
Bathroom signs have braille so when a blind person goes into the bathroom, they often would check the sign next to or on the door to check to make sure the person doesn't go into the bathroom of the opposite gender.

No, it shows you which side of the screen you're on if it's split screen
