Abstract(in English) We have been developing "Body-Braille" which presents Braille data using 6 micro vibration motors on the surface of the any parts of the body. Then we have made new portable terminal "B-brll". The B-brll is small and light. Therefore, it is convenient to carry. The B-brll has a keyboard as an input interface, an IrDA/RS232C/DTMF port as a communication interface, and vibration motors as an output interface. And, this terminal has CPU of PIC, and works on batteries. The B-brll can be used for study of Braille, support for daily life, note of Braille, and hobby. In this paper, we explain details of the terminal B-brll which we have made.
