“When we think of the iPad, we think of touching its capabilities, but it’s not truly a tactile, touchable screen. Indeed, it is largely off limits to those who rely primarily on touch instead of sight. A recent design concept, called the iSense, could potentially turn the iPad in to a true touchscreen, making it accessible to everyone…”

MacTrast.com:

“This is a truly amazing concept. The iSense is a cover that when placed on an iPad screen transforms text and apps into braille – allowing the blind to use an iPad….”

“The iPad opens up a whole new world of fun, but it’s sad to know that there are many people who don’t have the opportunity to experience it. The iSense is a revolutionary concept that brings the magic of the iPad to those who are vision-impaired. Designers Kikki Tham Sterner and Johan Ollashas are the creative heads behind the iSense project…”

“O iSense é uma película protetora para o tablet que responde à luz, formando sinais em relevo para a leitura dos deficientes visuais…”

To make blind experience the fun of working on an iPad the iSense concept has been conceived…”

“Odds are, you’re reading this article right now with your eyeballs, not your fingers. Some people don’t have that option, though, which is why the iSense concept, which turns an iPad touchscreen into a literal, touchable screen, is such a great idea…”

Gizmologia:

“La tecnología está avanzando, evidentemente, hacia lo táctil. Actualmente no sólo tenemos teléfonos y tablets que son completamente táctiles y que no poseen prácticamente ningún botón sino también grandes pantallas que hacen que los teclados empiecen a ser cosa del pasado. Pero si bien todo este mucho de dedos y pantallas es verdaderamente interesante, la realidad es que deja afuera a una parte demográfica de la sociedad que son las personas ciegas…”

Jailbreak Movies:

“Although nothing of the sort currently exists, and most likely won’t for quite some time, it’s nice to see what the future could look like for gadgets that are accessible to the visually impaired…”
