India makes smartphones for the blind

The phone will use a special touch screen that allows flexible face changes to turn Braille to help visually impaired people read SMS or email.

This is a product that is being researched by the Delhi Institute of Technology (IIT Delhi) in India and will be coming soon. Sumit Dagar, the inventor of the development team, says instead of using sound, their smartphone for the blind uses a special touch screen technology.

This type of screen will allow for flexible surface changes, forming bump points to create Braille letters, which enable blind people to recognize and read SMS or email messages. However, the product is still equipped with the same features as the usual smartphone.

IIT Delhi said its special product will be launched as soon as possible and will be the world's first smartphone capable of displaying Braille for the visually impaired.
