Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goals for this study are the concretization of a method for providing support for the capture/creation of nonlinguistic/spatial information (such as diagrams and images) that is difficult for the visually impaired to manage, and to help improve information accessibility via information devices for the visually impaired. The development of interactive tactile displays for the visually impaired is ongoing. Using these displays as base technology, we propose a new device that uses a haptic perception that combines a sense of touch and a sense of arm position as an sensory substitution pathway.
