Designer creates touchphone for the blind concept

15 June 2009 21:35 GMT / By Stuart Miles

With more and more phones launching with full touchscreen displays, what are the partially sighted supposed to do?

One suggestion is the B-Touch mobile phone from designer Zhenwei You. You's design features a touchscreen display that physically changes to recreate Braille characters for the user to read.

The phone, which also doubles as a book reader simply by placing the phone over some text, is still at concept stage, but it's still an interesting concept nonetheless and certainly one way to combat the lack of any real buttons on many of the handsets launching today.
