Undoubtedly, the modern gadgetry has amazingly helped in making the life a lot easier for all of us however, a majority of designers don’t always keep the physically challenged in their targeted users. Since exceptions are always there, this concept phone dubbed the Tactile has come out to allow the visually impaired to access a variety of features on its multi-touch display. Using an array of conductive pins under the multi-touch display, the Tactile concept phone amalgamates digital information as pulses of electricity to the user's fingertips to simulate texture. Now whatever that means, this innovative design sounds to suit the needs of the visually impaired and make these special people feel at home in this increasingly tech world.
