VIBRATING BRACELET INTERFACE FOR BLIND PEOPLE
Journal Title: Proceedings of Electrotechnical Institute Prace Instytutu Elektrotechniki - Year 2012, Vol 59, Issue 260
Abstract
There are many electronic aids for blind people in both prototype and market state. Most of them use prerecorded voice commands or speech synthesizers and a headset as a user-device interface. In order not to jam acoustic signals from environment, in this paper the authors present a vibrating bracelet as a multipoint communication interface for a mobile safety system for blind people (MOBIAN). By using several vibrating motors and a vibrating signal modulation, more data, commands and alerts a blind user is able to recognize.
