It is a mobile application thattranslatesletters fromtext messages into their correspondingbraillepatterns. Thesepatterns are in turn translated intovibrationsusing the mobilephone's built in vibration motor.For each letter, users scan the 2 by 3 grid on screenwiththeirfinger, triggering vibration whenever they scroll over acellthatcontains a braille bump. This gives them a quick mentalimageofthe pattern and thus the current character in thetext.Doubletapping the bottom right of the screen advances tothenextcharacter. Double tapping the bottom left returns tothepreviouscharacter. Both functions produce a sustained buzztoindicate thechange has occurred.Messages are organized by the mobile number associatedwitheachtext message, starting with the most recent received.Userscanadvance through the mobile numbers by swiping downwithtwofingers. Swiping right with two fingers loadsthemessageitself.Using this kind of haptic feedback could allow thosewithvisualimpairments an alternative to a speech only interfacewithmobilephones.
