Abstract

Integrating geomorphic tactile display technology into smartphones represents a transformative leap in assistive technology and consumer devices. This paper examines the economic ramifications of incorporating this technology into smartphones, of introducing geomorphic tactile display devices as alternatives to conventional Braille devices and smartphones. These innovative solutions, leveraging ferrofluid and geomorphic principles, promise cost efficiency, scalability, and inclusivity using the ‘iPhone 15 Pro’ and ’Samsung Galaxy Z Flip’ as benchmarks. By comparing costs, market viability, and potential savings, we assess how geomorphic tactile displays could redefine device affordability, accessibility, and functionality for both general consumers and visually impaired users.
