The world's first "braille smartphone".













The phone, which has yet to be officially named, has a screen comprised of a grid of pins, which move up and down to form into Braille shapes and characters whenever an SMS message or email is received. It uses what's called Shape Memory Alloy technology, so as each pin expands, it remembers and contracts back to its original flat shape.
ps: braille - A form of written language for the blind, in which characters are represented by patterns of raised dots that are felt with the fingertips.
