Project

The market size is 855 billion USD (visually impaired population x unit price of existing devices $3,000 USD). Considering this market size, if we supply Dot Watch, we will be able to supply a maximum of 2 billion units. From Dot Watch to Dot Mini / Dot Pad, we offer with excellent performance and 1/10 of the price compared to existing devices. Moreover, the global market is highly dependent on mobile devices. Also, transportation, payment, etc. is closely connected with a smartphone, so the global market is very lucrative for Dot.

Business Model

The core technology in any refreshable braille device is called an actuator. The only countries with the braille cell technology were Japan and Germany, called the piezo actuator. However, Dot was able to develop a Braille cell actuator 1/20 size and 1/10 cost of existing actuator. As an electromagnetic actuator, the Dot cell is able to bring revolutionary changes, first starting with the world’s first braille smartwatch, the Dot Watch.



The Dot Watch is mainly a B2C, B2B product, being sold to both distributors and consumers. The Dot Mini, an educational device will be specifically for organizations, schools, and relevant government ministries (currently under rapid development).
