Boggle your mind with a phone for the blind

Apr 07, 2009
Boggle your mind with a phone for the blind. Could you imagine visually challenged people would be using touch screen phone, some time in the near future? You are able to both see this wisely designed innovative device to be working or feel it by touching its rather sensible screen if you a visually handicapped user. The new main concept remains unchanged and keeps on adjusting developing technologies to the blind’s requirements. Called “Google’s Phone Apps”, it features a glassy touch screen which became available thanks to a blind engineer Raman along with sighted Charles Chen.

They engineered software, making it possible for blind users to easily access this whacky touch screen T-mobile G1 which seems to use Google’s Android software. There are not any doubts that this technique becomes more and more useful and practicable in our reality, giving a chance for those who are blind to have their phone working with no necessity to look at the screen. That category may include drivers or those who are lazy to look at it. Principle of operation supposes you to be touching your screen with sound to be heard as “5”. Turn to the tight will be a “1”, up for “2”, down for “8” and down for “0”.

With its easy to use interface design and ingenious tactile feedback, this mobile phone could possibly catch on. Once your fingers are taken off the screen, entry system is ready to reset. If there is a desire to dial some other phone number, user should slide his finger in the desired direction. In case there were some mistakes while dialing you are able to delete a digit by just shaking your phone. This is possible because of detect motion system. Mr. Raman and Mr. Chen developed a “shell” application which comes with GPS along with Google maps and the G1 compass.
