New solutions from the Design Studio

There are phones that 'see'

The Seeingeyephone has been designed to help visually impaired supermarket shoppers.

A Near Field Communication (NFC) tag containing information about store products, such as price and nutritional information, is attached to the store shelf next to the product, allowing customers to hold an NFC-enabled mobile phone to the tag. The phone can then read the information aloud using a voice synthesizer.
