Can I borrow somebody's eyes for a minute and ask you to describe these products to me?

Somebody created some new cooking tools for visually impaired but I have no idea what they are. Could somebody please describe these to me.

A knife with a retractable guard which springs back and forth, allowing someone who has to hold the blade to keep their fingers safe.

Measuring spoons with different shapes built into the handles to enable you to feel which measure you're using.

Guarded scoops to be used with chopping boards so you can scoop up the food you've just chopped up and which prevent you losing the food you've just scooped up.

An oversized lid, like a giant coolie hat, for saucepans which prevents scalds by directing the flow of steam and spillage down.

A special stove ring which has upward pointing ridges, allowing a user to centre the saucepan and save energy.

Spoons with floats which allows the user to feel the level of liquids in a vessel.

Most of these are plastic, probably silicone. The stove ring, of course is metal.

Hi - What a rubbish video "Look we've made products that are designed for people with sight loss but made no effort to include audio description or a transcript"
So first product is a knife with what they call a retractable guard. It looks like a piece of rubber over the end of the knife. So you can feel it to the side to avoid your fingers being under the blade and it lifts up as you chop downwards.
There is a saucepan lid, made of what i think is plastic/rubber and the handle doesn't point outwards but instead curves above the lid. It is indented in the middle and they show it as a place to put utensils as you are cooking.
There is a chopping board which has a 3 sided bowl to the side, so as you chop things on the board you can sweep them into the 3 sided bowl, which you can then use to transfer the items you have chopped.
A cooker ring for a gas hob that has ridges at the top to help you position a saucepan. Honestly I cant see how this is different to my own gas oven that had a metal plate over the top so I wonder if chinese cookers don't have this as standard?
A teaspoon with a float, it lifts as you pour liquid into a cup so you know when the liquid is near the top of the glass as the float moves up the spoon handle.

One is a round silicone lid with a large togo over pans so you wouldn't burn yourself by overflowing pans which you can also rest utensils on. Another is a knife with a solid plastic band around it so your fingers can't get close enough to the blade to be cut. Does that help at all? Harder than it sounds to describe them. Someone more eloquent might come along!

Cross post with someone much better at describing!

Thank you, and yes, I don’t know why they didn’t put a description on it.

Breading the comments under the video,it seems this is a video made to attract sponsor to assist the inventor to manufacture and market the products, not a sell them to the end user.

*Reading NOT Breading

Surely if you care enough to make a product that will provide more independence for people with disabilities you'd ensure every part of your campaign is accessible? Why would you think that blind people wouldn't be investors?
It infuriates me that tools are there, making digital content inclusive is not hard and further supports independent living. If they can't get this right, they may well end up getting funding, selling on a website that doesn't work with screen readers and make very few sales. I couldn't invest in a company that thought it was ok to exclude people at any stage of their campaign
