Braille Monitor
Accessible Visualization for Inclusive Digital Solutions
As accessibility standards evolve across Europe, FORTEC Switzerland proudly offers the revolutionary Braille Monitor from FORTEC Integrated - a unique display system that makes digital content tactile and accessible for blind and visually impaired users. In compliance with the upcoming EU Accessibility Act and German Accessibility Strengthening Act, this monitor bridges the gap between visual information and inclusive design.
