The “iDevices” e-mail listserv <mailto:idevices+subscribe@xxxxxxxxx ;

Apple TV, Apple Watch, and HomePod questions.
HALOS tactile icons are shapes that represent common features on home
appliances. We sell the tactile icons as stickers that can be applied directly
to a touch surface control panel. These stickers identify both the location
and the function of an appliance feature. They are like bump dots but smarter!
We offer five tactile icon packages - microwave, oven, washer, keypad and
home. The microwave, oven and washer packages contain two sets of 9 commonly
used appliance features. For example the microwave package includes tactile
icon stickers for start, stop, power level, add time, popcorn, pizza, potato,
defrost and timer. The home package has over 60 icons to identify a variety of
home appliance features. Finally our keypad package is used to label keypads
commonly found on microwaves and ovens. We also offer custom labeling - just
send us a picture of the appliance, plus the make and model and we will create
a custom set of tactile icons for all the buttons on your appliance. For more
