The Iphone touch screen has been a revolution in telephone technology, but what about a cell for the blind? B-Touch has created a multi-functional mobile with a special touch screen, a GPS system (on foot) combined with the up-to-date transport information, using the shape-change of the buttons (filled with fluid) to inform users road conditions (i.e. the buttons swell or concave with different degrees according to the bumpiness of the road), and more features. This product is designed by Zhenwei You. And you can watch a video of the phone in action at YouTube.

Notes by the creator:

My design B-Touch is introduced to solve such problem and is designed to make the life of blind people easier and better. B-Touch is a multi-functional mobile product. It combines the technologies of blind-touch screen, voice system and program to realize functions that help the blinds to live like regular people such as calling, navigation, normal book reading and object reorganization (shape, color). With the help from B-Touch, the blinds could see things, read books and know the color of clothes they are washing.

The form design, which is made according to ergonomics, enables the blind to find easily each key on B-Touch and operate it comfortably and accurately.
