Context
Our project focuses on improving accessibility for blind and visually impaired individuals, allowing them to interact with smartphones more intuitively and efficiently while on the go. For these users, navigating through apps or accessing information often requires holding the phone, which may not always be practical or safe.
The goal of this project is to design a capacitive touchscreen belt that enables blind users to control their phones without needing to take them out of their pockets. This device will be compact, affordable, and user-friendly. It will integrate seamlessly with existing assistive technologies like VoiceOver, providing an enhanced level of autonomy and convenience.
Materials
- Capacitive Touch Panel: For gesture recognition.
- Arduino Nano: For trackpad PS/2 communication..
- ESP32: For BLE keyboard HDI capabilities.
- 3D-Printed Components: Supports and housing printed with a 3D printer using PLA filament.
- Other Components:
- Pushbuttons for other iPhone functions and additional features.

Additional Notes
We are developing this project to promote inclusivity and accessibility for blind users. The final device will provide an intuitive, hands-free interaction method for smartphones, ensuring that accessibility is affordable and widely available.
We are excited to collaborate with the fabrication lab to bring this concept to life and make a meaningful difference in assistive technology.
