Touch and Go: Tactile iPhone Case for Sight Impaired
11:08 pm, December 1st, 2008, Nicole Martinelli
This prototype tactile iPhone case called Invisual allows sight-impaired users to get the most out of the smart phone. It would work in conjunction with special accessibility functions, such as text-to-speech features and moon type tactile alphabet keyboard.

Portugal-based designer Bruno Fosi crafted the silicon case with modified bas-relief buttons that correspond to the iPhone home screen. Fosi says that the iPhone thus covered keeps all its functions intact, including multi-touch and finger flick scrolling.

I am legally blind from premature birth, and use an iPhone close up to my face. This would be a boon to folks like me and for those with even less vision than I have.
If you would like a tester for this I would be happy to help in this as we need to have more integration into mainstream technologies.
