| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The newly developed light probe device kit has a feature that enables switching between indoor and outdoor modes to adjust the device's sensitivity according to the ambient light level. The detected light is converted into a sound that is given one of 116 pitches, depending on the detected light level (brightness). This device is capable of operating in low light levels, so it can recognize an image of the moon projected onto a piece of paper. It can also detect smoke that is released during a chemical reaction. And it can detect changes in the color of a translucent bromothymol blue (BTB) solution.
The kit is prepared so that the user can assemble his or her own light probe device, giving visually impaired students of various ages the additional joy of building things with their own hands in class.
