Abstract (en) | We have built and operated a tactile vision substitution system based on 48 piezoelectric actuators assembled in a movable tactile output unit. The unit can be positioned at any location on a two dimensional surface to explore the line structure of a virtual image. This virtual tactile display (VTD) receives data either from camera systems equipped with suitable image processing capabilities or from a computer. The device has been tested with 6 blind and 4 sighted subjects. |
