Tactonom Pro – Tactonom

We believe that blind and visually severely impaired people should be able to access any information without the help of others.

For this we develop the Tactonom Pro.

The Tactonom Pro

The Tactonom Pro will enable blind people and visually impaired people to access and work with any type of information.
This is achieved by combining

a huge number of tactile points
camera-based finger recognition
audio explanations
comprehensive software

Details

tactile points

∙ 119 columns
∙ 89 lines
∙ 10,500 touch points
∙ DIN A4 sized touch field

interactive

The integrated finger recognition allows the Tactonom to explain the elements under the fingertips through audio.

app

The software automatically converts information into tactile and audio information.

Removing barriers

With the Tactonom Pro it will be possible to display graphical information in addition to braille. This includes tables, websites, floor plans, graphics, images, environmental plans, flow charts, charts, formulas, shapes, icons and much more. In doing so, we want to make a contribution to making it easier for blind and severely visually impaired people to access information.

Progress/Status

In order to keep the Tactonom Pro, with its many touch points, affordable, we are developing a completely new actuator technology. With great support from the European Union, we are working hard to bring the Tactonom Pro to market by the end of 2024.

Supported by the European Union

The development of the Tactonom Pro is carried out by the program Horizon 2020 of the European Union under project numbers 828110 and 968187.
