Research Abstract

The purpose of this research is to design the interactive touch-panel contents with due consideration for visually impaired people. We implemented five contents and evaluated their usability and experience by blind people. Our basic idea is to provide intuitive and delightful sound feedback for users' touch action with ingenious method. The evaluation results proved that our proposed method was effective for improving touch experience of visually impaired people.
