Dot Pad

The first smart tactile graphics display

Dot Incorporation

While most people rely on visuals to understand complex topics, the 285 million blind and visually impaired people worldwide are left out. Tactile books are scarce, expensive, and impractical. Audio descriptions fail to describe complex information. Dot Pad is the first smart tactile graphics display for the visually impaired. It can convert any visual content from any source to tactile graphics using AI. Integration with iOS and iPad OS gives users access to 2.2 million apps. Having disrupted the field of accessibility, Dot is now paving the way for tactile graphics to become the norm.

iF Gold Statement

The Dotpad offers a unique interface solution for blind and visually impaired people. It uses AI to analyze and present visual content from any source in the form of tactile graphics. This is a great example of how to harness new technology to meet a longstanding need.
