Photographed memories come to life for the blind thanks to a 3D printer

The selfie culture may make us take for granted the ability to live in the moment, but photos are one of the ways we get to immortalize our memories. The blind don't have the opportunity to see snapshots of their lives, only visually remembering these events in their mind's eyes. That is until now.

In a new ad by the 3D printer manufacturing company Pirate3D, the visually impaired are given "sight" as their memories come to life

The video for its "Touchable Memories" campaign previews the Singapore-based company transforming photos into 3D models, as it tells touching stories of five blind people.
