Dr. Binocs takes kids on a journey through history to understand how Braille was invented by Louis Braille, a Frenchman who lost his sight as a child.
Through animated visuals and engaging storytelling, Dr. Binocs explains how Braille was inspired by a military communication system developed by Charles Barbier.
