Side Touch Guide for iphone

Side Touch Guide for iphone - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

The project assists with the use of a touchscreen phone.

Who it helps

Users who suffer from stiff fingers that do not open properly and cause pain may experience unintended screen touches, as the finger holding the phone tends to slip and accidentally touch the screen, interfering with phone operation.

How it works

The solution elevates the finger, preventing accidental contact with the screen during use.

A full phone case with an integrated side guard, or a standalone side guard designed to prevent accidental screen touches.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +

Fusion 360

Prusa slicer

Hot glue gun

FDM Printer
