In order to allow blind and deafblind people to use and explore electronically available maps, we have developed a system that displays maps in a tactile way using a standard rumble gamepad. The system is intended for both on-site and off-site use and therefore includes mechanisms for getting overviews of larger regions as well as for the exploration of small areas.

The 5 without a diagnosis were all within the non-rubella group. Two thirds of the group live in residential settings for congenitally deafblind people, and the other th...

It is difficult for the deafblind or the hearing impaired to control the pitch of their voice, because they cannot perceive it.

We have developed a voice pitch control system to assist their singing by means of a tactile display. In a previous study, two deafblind...
