iSense, the key to the tactile world for the blind

As we all know the new gadgets and mobile devices mark a clear trend for today's technology, the future is tactile, that's a fact. Increasingly, devices that only have a power button and see a keyboard on a mobile seems a thing of the past. While we all like to touch technology is no doubt an important segment of the population is affected by this progress, people with vision problems.

iSense could be the solution to their problems is a sheet specifically designed to meet the Apple iPhone screen that will read Braille as displayed on the screen. This sheet is made of special material made up of thousands of small "bubujas" that react to light, creating relief. The iSense Kikki was developed by Johan Tham Sterner and Pots for a competition called Future Lions technology.

While this is only a prototype is no doubt that the product will be successful and may extend to other kinds of devices.
