B-Touch: A phone for the blind

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on June 15th, 2009

B-Touch: A phone for the blindThis isn’t the first phone concept for the blind that we’ve seen, but it’s an interesting one. It’s from designer Zhenwei and it’s called the B-Touch. The idea is to help the blind communicate more effectively in a mobile friendly way with family and friends.

It features a touchscreen display for Braille, thanks to blind touchscreen technology and uses a combination of voice systems and programs to make it fully functional. It even sports other features, like a navigational system, an e-book reader and an object recognizer.
