In this context, the goal of our study is to shed light on how the vibration modality can be perceived by blind users when accessing simple contour-based images and visual graphics on a touch-screen.
In the dawn of the 21 th century, visual media tools and contents become ubiquitous, saturating our modern society (ranging over web pages, mobile applications, e-books, e-commerce, etc.). Accessing visual information becomes a central need for all kinds of tasks and users (e.g., from accessing data representative graphics and charts in news ...

After introducing common touchscreen usability problems, we presented our proposal aimed at enriching the user interface with haptic points to aid blind user orientation on the main sections of a ...
Our research was motivated by prior attempts to create accessible touch screen user interfaces and a universal guide application for blind people designed and validated by real visually impaired users. In this way, a user could travel from his home to his work or university using an adaptable wayfinding application.
Deaf-blind people have some degree of combined impairments of both the visual and the auditory channels. In the scenario of sensory disabilities, deaf-blindness is among the worst cases.
audio interfaces, combining touch-screen vibration and audio (sound and speech) feedback, allowing blind users to explore simple graphical information on a touch-screen, such as bar gra phs ...

prototype [8] uses the vibrating touch-screen on Nokia phones to convey Braille temporally; the user holds their finger on the screen in any one static location and will feel a linear off-on
Reaction wheel assembly (RWA) is an attitude control actuator for spacecraft. Its induced micro vibration will have a harsh effect on the performance of sensitive payloads. In this paper, a compact four-legged vibration isolation system for RWA is designed and investigated. Piezoelectric stack actuators (PSA) are chosen and dynamic equations are …

Research : When scientists put blind echolocators into an MRI machine, and played recorded echoes back to them, the regions of the brain associated with vision were activated, even though they weren't getting any visual input. The parts of the brain that handle motion and movement were turned on during active echolocation, even if the …

According to a 2004 study on absolute pitch (the ability to recognize notes) in blind musicians, 57% of a sampling of sightless musicians reported having the rare ability. This far exceeds the less than 20% of sighted musicians who reported having the same ability. Perhaps pitch recognition lies among other advantages the blind are predisposed ...

In this demo paper, we briefly present our experimental prototype, entitled EVIAC (EValuation of VIbration Accessibility), allowing visually impaired users to access simple contour-based images using vibrating touch screen technology. We provide an overview of the system's main functionalities and discuss some experimental results.
TOUCH-SCREEN devices like the iPhone are great when you can see them, but not much good if you are blind. Now a new way of presenting Braille characters on a mobile device could be the first step ...

The notion of a tactile touchplate or "touch lens" is based upon magic lenses, first introduced by Bier et al. [3] for graphical user interfaces, and adapted to touch screen computers in metaDESK [24]. These lenses provide users with an alternate view of the user interface, without requiring them to change application context.
