Research Abstract |
The purpose of our study is to help visually impaired people to learn how to write. We developed a writing training system with haptic interface. This system controls brush strokes based on template characters by the haptic interface. It focused on showing a length of one stroke while writing, providing a pseudo-sense of writing on the paper, and enabled learners to memorize kinetic task as a pattern. The prototype system makes it clear that the haptic interface is to express shapes of letters and handwriting pressure exactly.
