Recently, the computers and digital Information, such as Web pages, have been becoming inaccessible to the visually impaired, since they are becoming more visual and complicated. In this paper, we propose a novel information display method using a tactile and jog dial (TAJODA) interface for the visually impaired. The proposed method consists of presentation of verbal information in the form of acoustic modality and presentation of nonverbal information in the form of tactile modality. With the real-time speech rate control function and tactile vibrating patterns of the tactile display, the multimodal display method using TAJODA enables the visually impaired to search text information quickly and accurately.
