| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed an e-learning system to support visually impaired students in learning science, especially in physics. In learning science, it plays a quite important role to have image of natural phenomena, which are created based on observations of nature. However, blind students have severe handicaps in such an observation, since the sensations available for them are mainly touching and hearing. Our system gives them opportunities to broaden their correct image of nature and study physics systematically. We have built in PC virtual realities of such natural phenomena that blind students can hardly perceive, and made some application-programs so that they can perceive realistically these virtual realities by touching with the haptic devices. Further, we have written a textbook for e-learning of physics which enables them to study physical essence of the phenomenon they observe using the haptic device.
