Open Tactile Abacus

A light-switch inspired soroban-style abacus designed for users who are blind or have visual impairments. Each bead clicks into position, providing clear tactile and auditory feedback during calculations. This open-design abacus supports math instruction including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using the traditional Japanese soroban method.
