The use of touchscreens in public spaces is increasing. However, because public touchscreens vary in terms of size and operating system (operating logic), most do not have a function like the iPhone’s VoiceOver mode to assist the visually impaired. i-FINGER is a wearable intelligent product designed to help visually impaired people quickly access information from a variety of different public touchscreens, thereby Improving their experience and independence in public spaces.
The use of touchscreens is increasing in public digital terminals. However, because public touchscreens vary in size and operating system (operating logic), most of them do not have a function like the VoiceOver mode used in iPhone to assist the blind use them - There is a huge gap between the use of public touchscreens and the actual needs of the visually impaired people. What if we can bridge this gap?
