Humane Reader and Humane PC
The Humane Reader and Humane PC are two open-source hardware projects created by research scientist and inventor Braddock Gaskill.[1]
Humane Reader
[edit | edit source]The Humane Reader has received coverage from publications including Wired,[2] Make,[3] Engadget,[4] OSNews,[5] Ethiopian Review,[6] and Linux Journal.[7]
According to Wired, the Human Reader "takes two 8-bit microcontrollers and packages them in a 'classic style console' that connects to a TV. The device includes an optional keyboard, a micro-SD Card reader and a composite video output. It uses a standard micro-USB cellphone charger for power. In all, it can hold the equivalent of 5,000 books, including an offline version of Wikipedia, and requires no internet connection."[2]
Humane PC
[edit | edit source]According to Gaskill's website, the Humane PC is an 8-bit microcomputer that "combines the ease of Arduino development with the excitement of a classic stand-alone television-and-keyboard PC."[8]
Wired wrote that "The PC has almost the same specs as the Reader but offers additional features such as a micro-USB port and infrared port."[2]
