"From Dots To Shapes": an auditory haptic game platform for teaching geometry to blind pupils
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes "From Dots to Shapes" (FDTS), an auditory platform composed by three classic games (“Simon”, “Point Connecting” and “concentration game”) for blind and visually impaired pupils. Each game was adapted to work on a concept of the Euclidean geometry (e.g. ) The tool, , is based on sonic and haptic interaction, and therefore could be used by special educators as a help for teaching basic planar geometry.

In this paper, an experimental study is presented on navigation in a 3D virtual environment by blind and visually impaired people with haptic and audio interaction. A simple 3D labyrinth is developed with haptic and audio interfaces to allow blind and visually impaired persons to access a three-dimensional Virtual Reality scene through senses of touch and hearing. The user must move from inside...
متن کاملThe Haptic Recognition of Geometrical Shapes in Congenitally Blind and Blindfolded Adolescents: Is There a Haptic Prototype Effect?
BACKGROUND It has been shown that visual geometrical shape categories (rectangle and triangle) are graded structures organized around a prototype as demonstrated by perception and production tasks in adults as well as in children. The visual prototypical shapes are better recognized than other exemplars of the categories. Their existence could emerge from early exposure to these prototypical sh...
