This clock that we could categorize as the accessible smartwatch is called Dot. A watch capable of displaying to the user notifications received in your smartphone. There are several settings that Android has developed in favor of accessibility. But with this device accessible technology gives a step forward.

According to its creators this line of Defense, that changes every so often, is more than enough to read a message. A line of points protruding synchronously to create the braille characters needed to be able to be read by the user. In addition, configurable for different functionalities side has three buttons.
