Haptic Interface for Visually Impaired

MIUI Accessible Haptics

There are many visually impaired people who can only operate their phones using voice control. However, voice control has its limitations in noisy environments as it offers less privacy and is disturbing to others. MIUI Accessible Haptics has developed a user interface that provides haptic feedback in the form of different vibration patterns. In this way, the elements of the user interface can be identified with the fingertips. This offers users the possibility to use their smartphone with touch functions in a natural way.
