Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Braille is one of the most important tool for visually impaired persons. Over 80% of Visually impaired persons in Japan, however, can not use Braille. We are developing a wearble-type Braille reader for them. Our system read out Braille text if users trace Braille text with a micro pressure sensor attached onto their fingertip. In this paper, we show how to import and process Braille from a pressure sensor.
