BONOCLE IS A PORTABLE HANDHELD DEVICE.

Curved on one side to be ergonomic and take the shape of your hand. Flat on the other side to allow it to easily slide over a surface.

AT THE TOP OF THE CURVED SIDE LIES THE BRAILLE CELL SURROUNDED BY THREE BUTTONS

The previous and next buttons on each side and the middle button sits below the braille cell in a teal hue for great contrast.

HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS ARE THE SECRET TO OUR SAUCE

So we’ve chosen a highly refreshable braille cell that has stood the test of time to suit your reading speed and style.

THE ACTION AND BACK BUTTONS SIT ON EACH SIDE OF THE DEVICE

Designed symmetrically to work whether you read braille with your right or left hand.

ON THE FRONT OF BONOCLE IS A USB-C PORT PLACED STRATEGICALLY

So your experience is never interrupted. Easily connerct a reversible wire and keep going.

WE WANT YOU TO GET IMMERSED WITH NO CONCERN, SO WE’VE ADDED A STRAP IN THE BOX.

It attaches to a textile lable at the back of the device for your comfort and ease of mind.

BONOCLE’S HAPTICS ENGINES ADDS AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF ACCESS WITH DIRECTIONAL HAPTICS

8 different vibration strengths and over 16 different patterns.

WE WANT TO BRING BRAILLE BACK INTO PERSPECTIVE BY MINIMIZING ITS COST AND SIZE AND MAXIMIZING ON ITS USES.

TO DO THAT, WE CREATED AN APPLICATION LIBRARY BUILT FOR BONOCLE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND ON SMART DEVICES TO PROVIDE MORE FUNCTIONS TO SERVE THE BLIND COMMUNITY.
