Tipo Braille Keyboard Phase 1 Project Plan
Feedback from latest user test:
- Main keys (6 keys) should be placed at equal distance and perpendicular to each other(in a straight line).
- Buttons get stuck into the panel while punching, button quality to be better
- Keypunching registers are not regular. Sometimes, the keys are not captured accurately
- Separate buttons required for space, delete and enter keys
- 4-way navigation keys required programmed with swipe left and swipe right features
- USB port to be replaced with Bluetooth (4.0 or higher)
- Keys can be smaller, square shaped
- The texture of the front of the device can be made non-slippery
- Size of the device to be reduced to suit portrait mode
- Silicone material to be pasted on the edges of the device
- Removable tool to be affixed on the device
- Optional: volume rocker buttons to be installed
Design Changes being considered for next prototype considering feedback:
- Main 6 Braille keys placed in a equidistant rectangular grid
- Replacing existing silicone buttons with higher quality buttons
- Separate buttons for Space, Enter and Backspace
- 5 way navigation + OK/Enter key :
- Bluetooth operation instead of USB
- Designed for Portrait mode use case
- Volume rocker switch to be added:
