| Research Abstract |
A mobile phone interface was designed for assisting"seeing","hearing", and"speaking"using a tactile device including a 2-D tactile display and a tactile matrix sensor. In the interface, images or characters are sensed by a camera inside the mobile phone, which signals are transmitted to the tactile display consisting of 32 piezo-electric devices. Environmental sounds or speech sounds can also be detected by a microphone attached to the mobile phone. Time spectral patterns of the sounds can be presented onto the tactile display. Furthermore, tactile information obtained by touching and tracing the tactile matrix sensor can be displayed onto a receiver's fingertip through the mobile phone. These functions were useful for sensory disabled persons such as the deaf, the blind and the deaf-blind to communicate with the normal.
