At the school for visually-impaired students, the means for them to study geography is considerably limited, and the teaching materials which can be used to learn various map information by tactile sensing are seriously demanded. In this presentation, to meet the demands, a new touch map system is proposed as a solution, which is composed of 3D geographical map, IC tags embedded at the specific locations in the map, a reader/writer device which is wearable at the nail on forefinger and can read the ID data in the IC tags with the finger touching the map, and a sound output system to read out various data and messages on specific locations by a speaker.
