TACTILE WORLD

Tactile World is a computer hardware company developing a significant unique technology for People with Blindness and Visual Impairment. The company develops products designed to provide direct, tactile access to graphic objects shown on a computer screen. Using a computer interface based on proprietary gesture technology, the company provides a Braille reading experience for much less than the cost of a standard Braille display. Tactile World offers a computer mouse that enables people who are... blind and visually impaired to access on-screen content. The mouse features two dynamic Braille pads whose bumps change to represent the content under and next to the cursor. In addition to the Braille pads, the mouse features buttons that enable the user to select a line of text without moving the mouse. Tactile Explorer was awarded a silver medal at the iENA "Ideas-Inventions-New Products" international trade show in Nuremberg in 2010. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Ra'anana, Israel.More
