Tactile MP3 allows the user to identify and control the buttons of this MP3 player without needing to look at it.

Instead of the traditional visual icons that MP3 players usually rely on, Tactile MP3 utilises a series of embossed icons for easy identification with the fingertips. This allows the user to control the MP3 player even if it is in their pocket or in a bag. Tactile MP3’s rounded form and handy size induce the consumer to use it intuitively by touch.
