Abstract

When people are deaf and blind, daily life is made difficult owing to the lack of linguistic communication that is normally mediated by sight and hearing. The project described herein aims at helping deafblind individual overcome this communication barrier. We describe a tactile communication apparatus that is capable of rich and efficient reproduction of the tactile signs employed by several tactile deafblind languages.
