Hi, my name is Jesus. I am an accessibility QA tester at PLUS QA. Today, I will be taking a look at the LEGO Braille set. If I take the time to look at the box, I notice right away there is Braille on the corner, which is unusual. 

It is very distinguished compared to other LEGO sets. 

00:30 [reads braille on box] LEGO Braille Bricks alright. I am not sure if all LEGO sets have a QR code to scan, but this one does and it says [reads braille] Scan QR code to play. And there are tactile squares so a blind person can bring up an iPhone or some mobile device and scan the QR code, which is great, and they know exactly where to have the camera pointing. That’s fantastic. 



00:59 [crinkling sounds from LEGO bags] Let me see [counting] two bags, three bags … that is a lot of bricks! Alright. We have the user guide. And, oh, this is one, two bases, platforms [baseplates]. Alright. And the box is empty. 



1:33 [returns to the user guide] Right now, it seems to be numbers and I am trying to … [feels around] there is a QR code. Another one. I am not sure if it leads to the same website or a different one, but I am assuming that is kind of where we find more info. 

But as it is right now there is no more guide to it. It is just numbers here. So, I am not really sure without context what is going on here. 

1:57 So, I actually did go through the - I did scan the QR code and went to the LEGO pages for Braille activities [screen recording shows website scrolling] and I want to say that the page is 85 percent accessible - there is definitely slides that one can go through and get an idea of different games that you can play and there is also a video for each game. 

2:21 Unfortunately, the videos are not described for the blind, so without more context, I am still a little bit lost. 

2:28 The only thing I can really do is to open up one of these bags and take the LEGOs out and feel them. 

2:34: [crinkling sound while opening bag] I am going to pull this open and just [pouring LEGO bricks out] - alright! We have got an E or an I. The descending dots are to the right. 


2:47 I like the idea of these. Oh, look, it is a letter A. 

2:52 I wonder if I can spell my name? 

2:54 I am a dad so I’m actually looking forward to playing with these with my son. 

2:57 I am hearing impaired so I get to, you know, learn Braille and kind of teach him Braille a little bit as he reads normally. 

3:05 We have a lot of books with both print and Braille so we have been doing it that way for quite a while. 

3:13 LEGOs will kind of be an interesting addition to what I do now for playtime and reading time I guess!

Oh heres a full Braille cell. Six dots - everything that is in Braille was based off of those six dots, every letter.
