Natural monument 'Animal' Braille Sensation book introduced as sound ..Lee Byung-hun Han Ji-min and 75 citizens around the neck sound Donation
A Braille Sensation book introduces Natural monument 'animal' as a sound. In particular, this book was produced with the sound Donation of 75 citizens including actors Lee Byung-hun and Han Ji-min. The National Heritage RAND Corporation published a multimedia (multimedia) type Braille Sensitivity Book (<Natural monument Animal Story>, which reads and sounds with the fingertips) on the 15th, on the occasion of White Cane Day. The White Cane Day was designated by the World Federation of the Blind on October 15, 1980 to guarantee the rights of the blind.
The Braille Sensation Book, published this time, introduced 70 species of animals, including eagles, cranes, knaksae, and sky squirrels, listed as Natural monument by the National Cultural Property RAND Corporation, with various three-dimensional sounds such as detailing and voice commentary, crying sound of animals, and folk songs and children's songs related to the animals.
The contents were inserted with a special braille of water drop type using natural materials, and the stories related to characteristics such as appearance and habit of each animal were composed in a simple and funny story format. When you bring a special sound pen enclosed in the book to the animal, you can listen to the commentary, the sound of crying, and related songs.
“In particular, commentators and detailed artists who participate in voice recording have been selected through public offerings since January,” said Lee Sung-kyung, a curator at the National Cultural Property’s RAND Corporation. A total of 75 people participated in the story commentary and sound recording production, and an animal introduction song by the DMC Children's Choir was also inserted.
In addition, artificial intelligence (AI) voice conversion technology was applied to the existing broadcast interviews of actor Lee Byung-hun and Han Ji-min who announced their intention to sound Donation in advance. Actor Lee Byung-hun's voice can be heard in the commentary of the goshawk and owl, while Han Ji-min can be heard in the commentary of the hawk and musk roe.
The National Cultural Property RAND Corporation will distribute this multimedia Braille sense book free of charge with sound pens to blind schools and blind institutions nationwide. A special exhibition will be held at the Natural monument Center in Daejeon from the 20th to the 28th of next year. It is an exhibition on the theme of Natural monument Animals Meet with Six Points by utilizing various elements such as detailing, story commentary, agitation, and folk songs in Braille Sensation Book.
