| Abstract(in English) | It is strenuous to make the visually impaired recognize figures and shapes. It is because there is a lack of understanding of how the visually impaired perceive tactile information. The aim of this research is to elucidate the process in which the visually impaired understand graphics. First, the position of the fingertip is detected, and the trajectory of the finger is recorded, and then the locus of the finger is quantified and analyzed. The final goal of this research is to express diagrams and shapes in language, which enables the visually impaired to understand them based on the process of figure perceiving by the touch sensing. This will contribute to information acquisition by the visually impaired people. |
