Abstract(in English) In spite that superior abilities of visually impaired in tactile sensation are confirmed in some studies, the number of systems using such abilities is not so many. In this study, we have developed and evaluated an interactive system utilizing the superior abilities of visually impaired to make them enjoy. We employed TECHTILE toolkit as a device to output tactile sensation, and developed an interactive system with some types of tactile sensation. The system which has 3D content with a story was created by using Unity. Experiments were performed to evaluate the system.
