Tactics: a Tactile Image Creation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual information is increasingly important yet methods for its access by blind persons are inadequate. This paper describes and evaluates TACTICS, a system for the automatic visual to tactile translation of digitized images. The results of experiments testing perception of TACTICS-generated tactile images are provided.

متن کاملDesign, Modeling, and Construction of a New Tactile Sensor for Measuring Contact-Force
This paper presents the design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the deflection of the membrane with measuring the strain in the membrane with emb...
