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.
