Conference System using Finger Braille
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a conference system using text and finger braille. Finger braille is one of the communication methods for deaf-blind people. Since some of them have serious impairments of the visual and auditory senses, they communicate with others using tactile sensation. We have analyzed the features of finger braille. The functions required for the system were examined and implemented in the conference system. The validity of the functions was ascertained by an evaluation experiment. As a result, the number of utterances of a deaf-blind person was almost the same as that of a sighted-hearing person. The result of a simulated conference confirmed the validity of the proposed system.
