This Italian invention will enable blind and sight-impaired people to surf the web and enjoy Internet games.

The invention combines touch-screen surfing and stereo sound systems to offer both tactile and audio stimuli. These signals are fed to the brain via a ‘contact transducer’ that can be slipped over a fingertip.

The device is an invention by scientists at Milan’s Politecnico University (Italy). It is designed to make all Web-based multimedia accessible to the blind people, explained scientists at the Politecnico.

The device is priced low, making it more attractive for potential users. So it is entertainment unlimited on the Web.
