The World's first Braille Cell Phone!
The latest statistic of the world blind population comes in at around
285 million. One fifth, or, 63 million, are in India.
Entrepreneur Sumit Dagar announced he will be rolling out the world's
first Braille cell phone. His company, Kryiate, has drawn up the first
prototype.
Dagar says that test users found it difficult to imagine dynamic Braille
on such a small device at first, then, after using it, were very happy
with it.
The first-generation Braille cell phone will have some typical smart
phone features such as a music player, an e-mail client, a calendar, and
even GPS
navigation. The Braille display features include a ten character display
which can be typed in via a numerical keypad with tactile markings for
each of
the numbers.
The smaller cell display means it doesn't need to be a typical smart
phone CPU, keeping the (yet to be announced) price low. "Anybody who can
afford a
phone can afford this phone," Dagar says.
