Tactile technology is developing digital devices that suit the needs of the visually impaired. The tactile displays make digital data to be felt, as a result the blind too can access the internet, maintain secure credit card details and even click and store pictures.

Let’s take a look at some of these cool gadgets.

1. Touch Sight Camera:

This Samsung creation has embossings of 3D images on the Braille display. So, images are turned into surfaces that can be felt. Plus the cam also acputres a few seconds of sound with each snap so that it is easy for the user to search and archive. Pics can even be shared online and downloaded to other Touch Sight cameras.

2. ReEnvision:

Now, with the smooth touch-screen technology on debit cards, the blind no longer have to give their PIN to the cashier. A low-cost solution, this design is bound to bring about a huge difference.

3. Sentio:

Matthew Wagerfield has created a blind-friendly watch that is ultra-cool to look at too. On the face of the watch, two seven-segment digital displays (that rise 1mm above its surface), provide a tactile function.

4. Saifu:

This is a tablet PC working on a conceptual magnetized liquid material called magneclay. The synthetic liquid has a oil-like quality. It rearranges itself infinite number of times to display Braille every once it reacts with a magnetic charge.
