Screen rendering worksurface
A screen overlay for a personal electronic device coupled with an educational application launched on the device provides a work surface for engaging in fluidic based chemistry experiments while shielding the device from the liquid used for the experiments. The screen overlay has liquid encapsulating regions for retention of a pooled liquid deposited on the overlay, and is transmissive of touch signals to a touch screen on the device. An educational application executing on the device renders predetermined regions on the device display that are coordinated with the fluid retention regions. A liquid deposition vessel such as a dropper has a conductive outer surface for engaging a user's grasp, and a wire or conductor is adapted to extend through the pooled liquid for contact with the screen overlay. The screen overlay is transmissive of capacitance signals emanating from the user for indicating fluidic presence to the educational application on the device.
Periodic table for the visually impaired
This periodic table of elements provides tactile features particularly suited for a visually impaired user. The table provides raised element field borders and raised alphanumeric characters which correspond to a standard periodic table. The element fields are arranged in a perpendicular grid upon a semi-rigid substrate. At least one (1) linear fold line enables isolation of a portion of the chart allowing a user to focus upon a desired “energy section”, “group”, or “family” of elements contained within the chart.
