| Abstract(in English) | Most of visual impaired people use a white stick for walking. However, they may face unsafe situations because they cannot use both hands while using a white stick. Therefore, a hands-free and intuitive walking support system using phosphene has been investigated in this study. In fact, the phosphene is indicated as information of an obstacle’s position which is detected using ultrasonic sensors. The phosphene is a phenomenon that can give a visual information even to blind people by stimulating visual pathway electrically or magnetically. In this paper, the possibility of the use of phosphene for vision aid of visual impaired people will be clarified by investigating the phosphene’s mechanism. |
