Investigating the Use of Vibro-tactile Feedback for Mobile Interaction by Blind Users: the Numeric KeyPad Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
For visually-impaired people interacting with touchscreens can be very complex because of the lack of hardware keys or tactile references. We investigate how a multimodal approach can overcome this issue. We propose a prototype which exploits haptic feedback as a support for detecting the numpad and special buttons.

متن کاملTactile Feedback to Aid Blind Users of Mobile Guides
In this work, we investigate how using the haptic channel as a complement to the audio/vocal one can provide better support for the use of mobile museum guides for blind users. The aim is to improve autonomy and social integration of blind visitors. Based on our previous experience in mobile guide design, the proposed solution aims to add tactile feedback enhancement for orientation support and...
