    Abstract:

Applications: This invention discloses a novel design for a tactile dial for a timepiece for the visually impaired people. The surface of such watches has twelve protruding tactile elements that are used as hour markers which the user can touch and feel to recognize the hour markers. To help user easily identify 12 different hour markers, it is required to have more than two different shapes of markers on the dial face. We came up with a step architecture design of the tactile markers in order to keep the number of shapes per dial face to a minimum of two. This keeps the watch face simple and promotes user engagement with the device.
Advantages: Step Architecture based tactile dial face has application in Tactile haptic watches for the visually impaired Haptic smartwatches for the visually impaired

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
