Almost all of the users have gained lots of benefits from using these modern devices. People nowadays are greatly attached to their phones. Using their phones to stay connected, to be updated with the latest information and for some to be entertained. Unfortunately, there are people who are left behind and unable to take advantage of such innovation, they are the people with disabilities.

Sesame Enable, an Israel-based start-up company has spent a couple of years to develop a smartphone that will answer the needs of people with disabilities. The company, founded by Oded Ben Dov and Giora Livne, is working on a phone that uses Google's Nexus 5 for its hardware and is mainly crafted to assist people who cannot make use of a "regular" smartphone.

Dubbed as the Sesame Phone, it is the first device designed for people with limited or absolutely no use of their hands. The smartphone offers touch-free accessibility in a small, mobile and yet elegant form factor.

BGR also adds that the phone uses a combination of facial recognition, gesture combination and voice recognition to provide users full control over the device. There is a cursor on the home screen of the device that follows the head movements as the front-facing camera tracks them. The user can click with a simple gesture. The phone also has an "open sesame" voice command that can be used to open apps as an alternative.

Big companies like Intel and Microsoft have already indulged in this kind of technology, though focusing on the general consumer. The concept of the companies mentioned is getting things done through gesture recognition, which will remove friction between man and machine. Sesame Enable envisions the idea differently.

According to research from the Christopher Reeve Foundation, there are about six million people living with some form of paralysis. From the six million, around two million have difficulty in moving while one million are unable to move at all and this is in U.S. only. Basically, these people are the inspiration of the Sesame Phone.

Apparently, the development of the device has a long way to go. According to Wired.com, Sesame Enable has partnered with Indiegogo to launch a $30,000 fundraising campaign to sustain the project.
