These Japan-only burnable CDs with a raised Braille label are a great first step for blind computer users, but how great would it be if there were a CD burner that burned custom Braille lettering using a technology like LightScribe?

I imagine the wrong side of these would be touched far too often, but it’s a good start.
Would be nifty, but cost prohibitive. Instead, I’d suggest making a braille label maker that works with circular labels, and a simple plastic shape that helps with perfectly centering the labels on discs. This would work with any recordable/rewritable CD, DVD, Blue-Ray … Heck, even with ROM discs!
The product is intended for blind people, not for idiots.
