Abstract
In this study, as teaching materials of early Braille education for visually-impaired children, we propose a Braille learning support system, which they play touching Braille by using tablet devices. The proposed system provides auditory and tactile feedback in conjunction with finger movement touching Braille, relying on placing conventional Braille teaching materials on the touchscreen surface of a tablet device. In doing so, the system is effective in point of making user to touch and trace Braille actively and accurately, linking own finger movement with sound. Also, we entertain that the system can be used as motivational teaching material in early stage of Braille education. In addition, because that consists of the system is simplified based on product on products for sale generally and widely distributed in Braille education, the system is estimated using widely. In this paper, we describe about the process of development, system, and consideration through exhibition of the system.
