Description(English)	As an extension component of the mobile phone terminal, I-FINGER collects images through a small camera on the fingertip, and transmits them to the mobile phone for recognition calculations. Finally, it is converted into voice information and transmitted to the visually impaired patients to meet the needs of assisting them to use the touch screen. I-FINGER continues the habit of visually impaired patients to perceive information through their fingertips, so there is no need for excessive learning costs for them. In addition, the "Y"-shaped gestur allows users to use touch screen terminals of any size and equipped with any operating system.
Description(Native)	I-FINGER是一个针对于视力障碍者设计的可穿戴式智能指套，同时也可以成为手机终端的扩展组件。通过指套端的小型摄像头收集影像,并传输到手机中进行识别运算,最终转化成语音信息传递给视觉障碍患者,以达到辅助盲人使用触摸屏的需求。由于充分利用了手机的闲置运算能力,i-FINGER只需要负责收集和传输视频,因此相关硬件成本得以降低。视觉障碍用户在使用I-finger时,需要先将产品掰开,将产品分别戴在食指和中指上,该动作同时也通过光传感器激活产品与手机之间的蓝牙连接。用户通过Y型手势激活产品,产品的识别范围可以通过调整食指与屏幕之间的距离来改变。当移动到最佳距离时,产品通过微小的震动提醒用户,用户就可以开始移动手指来识别屏幕上的内容。i-FINGER延续了视觉障碍患者的使用习惯,通过手指指尖的感知来辅助盲人对于外界信息的识别。对于盲人来说不需要过高的学习成本。除此之外，由于很多户外触摸屏的尺寸和操作逻辑各不相同,其难以像手机操作系统一样通过盲人模式来辅助盲人的使用。 i-FINGER则能够很好的弥补公共触摸屏的使用与盲人实际需求不匹配的问题,让视觉障碍患者可以使用任何尺寸、搭载任何操作系统的触摸屏终端。
