Braille Phone Concept by Designer Seonkeun Park

Last week’s Tikk-Tekk rainbow measuring device proved to be a functional tool for the visually impaired, but this Braille Phone Concept goes beyond that. A sleek, minimalist design by Seonkeun Park, it’s an universal cellular phone that comes with an Electric Active Plastic (EAP) cover and has all the functions that a traditional mobile has to offer. The EAP technology creates particular patterns on the surface of the phone and raises those parts with an electric signal, and offers letter blocks in two by three dot matrixes. That’s how the visually challenged get to enjoy calls, text messages and menu browsing. [via Tuvie]
