This innovative smartphone case lets you text without even touching the screen - Yanko Design

Designed past product engineer Dougie Isle of mann, the TypeCase is a remarkable win for inclusive design! The smartphone case comes with a keyboard built correct into its rim and relies on a "chord system" to generate text, where a sure combination of button-pushes results in a letter beingness typed out on the smartphone screen. This allows y'all to literally text while holding your telephone in 1 hand, making information technology easy for special-needs cases as well as for people who often find themselves needing to text with 1 hand occupied.

The example reintroduces the familiar feeling of tactile feedback while typing, as a gestural keyboard effectually the rim of the screen works as an input device. The TypeCase comes with 4 buttons on one side and one on the other, corresponding to the positions of your fingers and thumb when yous're holding the device. The initial learning curve would be memorizing the individual 'chord' gestures required to type out certain letters and words, just Mann's demo shows how easy it is to keep once you get the hang of information technology. The case connects to your telephone via Bluetooth, while the buttons on its rim are raised for ease-of-use for people with visual or motor impairment. Once the user is familiar with the chord-system, the TypeCase brings back the old and cherished feeling of being able to confidently type out full sentences without fifty-fifty looking at the screen. What's non at that place to honey?!
