This start-up from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) introduces the Hable, enabling blind people to operate their smartphone with braille..
The smartphone has become an important part of our work and daily life. However, the touch interface of a smartphone can be difficult to use for some blind and visually impaired people. Hable wants to change that with a device that enables blind and visually impaired people to use their smartphone with braille.
“Many innovations in our market are still based on the braille type machine of yesteryear. We have changed that by focusing on the smartphone,” says Freek van Welsenis, co-founder of Hable.
