Advanced Braille-Displaying Timepieces

The 'Ehsaas' Braille Watch by Nikhil Kapoor is Sleek

— February 24, 2022 — Fashion
The 'Ehsaas' Braille watch has been designed by Nikhil Kapoor as a wearable timepiece for those with visual impairments to help them stay informed of the time in a manner that doesn't rely on eyesight. The watch maintains a sleek, minimalist design that is equipped with electronic active polymer on the face that will shift throughout the day to communicate the time to the wearer. A specially positioned part on the bottom of the watch lets wearers know which way it's supposed to be worn on the wrist.

The 'Ehsaas' Braille watch concept identifies what can be done to make conventional products more accessible by using existing technologies that only require being repurposed in thoughtful ways.
Trend Themes
1. Braille-display Technology - Creating more devices and applications that use electronic active polymer to provide Braille displays for visually impaired people.
2. Wearable Technology for Accessibility - Designing wearable tech that caters to specific needs of persons with disabilities and/or impairments like the Ehsaas watch by Nikhil Kapoor.
3. Inclusive Design - Integrating design features to make products accessible and usable to a wider audience including people with disabilities and/or impairments.
Industry Implications

2. Smart Devices and Wearables Industry - Creating new smart device and wearable technology that prioritize accessibility and inclusivity for people with different abilities and needs.
3. Consumer Electronics - Incorporating accessibility features in all consumer electronic products to make them useful to people with disabilities or impairments.
