Contact: Anthony Di Bitonto, IDSA, Smart Design LLC, 212.807.8150 Designers: Smart Design LLC and Thumbscript Development LLC Client: Thumbscript Development LLC This concept for a new type of input system for electronic devices turns the nine-button keypad into a keyboard. Like connect-the-dots, the program lets users "draw" letters by pressing the beginning point and the ending point. To minimize the learning curve and make the language more memorable, the program uses guidelines such as vowels as straight lines. Once learned, the visual alphabet offers unlimited opportunities for communication. "This user-friendly Morse code for consumers is a great concept for allowing nine keys to communicate all 26 letters of the alphabet as well as numbers and symbols." -Cooper Woodring, FIDSA |
