Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to develop new methods which enable to provide visual information that it is difficult to represent in words, by taking advantage of the visual impairment's abilities. We evaluated our developed systems with taking advantage of current information assistive technologies in order to improve the abilities that the person with visual impairment has. The result of this study brought effectives to share visual information between a teacher and students under integrated education class without requiring special education skills.
