About DOT

Dynamics Of Touch (DOT), is a brand under the Barrier Free Access Limited, a wholly-owned social enterprise of the Hong Kong Society for the Blind. The concept of the brand is inspired by the life of the visually impaired. Visually impaired persons (VIP) learn or record their life through their touch every day, but as sighted, we have just neglected the important message via our touch. The products sold at  “DOT” contain interesting elements that give a different impression on the VIP life. For more details of DOT, please visit the HKSB website.
