This exhibition will provide the opportunity for conference attendees to try out a number of demonstrator applications of haptic, tactile and audio feedback technology including graph browsing and construction tools, and touch based computer games for the visually impaired.
The explosion of software applications, digitally stored data and the subsequent growth in on-line communities, has frequently been denied to visually impaired and blind computer users due to the visual-centric nature of presentation methods employed. Haptic force feedback and tactile devices offer the opportunity to present dynamic “visualisations” in a non-visual manner to the sense of touch: whether the data being visualised is real-time stock exchange data in the form of a graph, maps from route-finding applications, or the progress of a multiplayer on-line game.Days exhibiting: Both Days
