tactile mobile phone for the blind by peter lau
designer peter lau has sent designboom images of a concept mobile phone for blind users. unlike typical cell
phones which rely on claw grip or finger tip action, 'touching' utilizes palms for an ergonomic user experience.
equipped with fourteen functioning buttons and one functionless button - the device's button configuration
is positioned in a grid for fast thumb navigation. the layout provides a concave faceted surface for tactile
interaction, alongside an operating scroll wheel for ending calls for intuitive functionality.

wow…… this one is really nice and good looking mobiles and whom features has been displayed are quit use full for further use.. this one quit nice effort…. well done and keep it up…
This looks like a probably well functioning product for blind people, but only for this targetgroup. I don’t believe in products specially designed for people with disabilities. There are so much possibilities to design for all.
