Abstract:
A gadget for a multimedia management of computing devices enables the blind and the visually impaired to use desktop computers, laptops, tablet PCs, handheld PCs, smart phones and all other mobile computing devices which use a screen that is touch sensitive to communicate with users, and that can convert that touch into vibrations of different intensity or frequency. The program background (5) communicates with users by using colored image contents (3), braille characters, vibrations, sounds, music and spoken words. The gadget of the invention is characterized by having a mechanical accessory in the form of a transparent raster mesh (1), which is spread over a classic touchscreen (2) of a computing device (10) and with it, enables spacial orientation for the blind and the visually impaired persons on an otherwise smooth surface of the screen (2), and with it, gives them the possibility to effectively use any modem, serial-made computing device (10) that can express a multi-point touch with vibrations of different strengths and frequencies, while the communication with fingers of the blind user happens through two-dimensional graphic elements (3), composed braille characters in the form of matrix (6) and menu bars (M1, M2, Mx, . . . ).
