Meet Feelif, the first worldwide provider of multisensory digital games and educational content for the blind and visually impaired, enriching lives all over the world.  Feelif developers invented unique technology that enables blind to feel shapes on a touch screen.  The technology is now being used to make games, educational content and provide a platform for apps. 

Feelif d.o.o. is a high-tech company that started in November 2013, that focuses on information systems for the blind and visually impaired. Their goal is to empower blind and visually impaired individuals so that they can easily access information in digital form.

Since 2013, the company has learned a lot and has received many awards for its innovative technology; the most important and latest:  Best European Social Innovation 2017 in Europe. 

A unique application and a special transparent embossed grid provide an excellent user experience. Blind and visually impaired persons are using vibration, sounds and voice with finger glides across the embossed grid and follow a specific format on the screen.  The embossed grid provides an excellent orientation on the otherwise flat screen, and at the same time it strengthens fine motor skills of the user.  Feelif device can also be used as a tablet or a smart phone.
