Eye free touch screen by Nokia

[iMav]

Well looks like nokia has developed a way to counter the 1 problem no matter how much arya or steve jbs say isnt an issue will remain an issue ...

we ned to look at the screen to use it .... heres something nokia has come up with to solve that problem ...

Nokia has invented a way to let you use a touchscreen on a cellphone or mobile device without looking at it. It's done with this special lid that has a slot in it with slightly raised places on it that you can use as a guide. Working with the software on the screen underneath, certain spots of that slot coincide with various functions on the touchscreen, giving you eyes-free control of that user interface. Notice in the picture there's also a version of the idea with a "rotator lid," apparently with click stops to guide your fingers to certain locations on the touchscreen. These are some great ideas for those who insist on driving while dialing

Ya it's a good work done by Nokia. But it will not be handy for many one before having a nice hands-on on this screen. Its nice and i think researchers will try it out to include something userfriendly things inspite having an eyefree touch screen.
