Abstract(in English) In spite that superior abilities of visually impaired in sense of touch are confirmed in some studies, the number of systems using the superior abilities is scarce. In this study, we have developed and evaluated an interactive system using the superior abilities of visually impaired to make them enjoy. We employed a pin display device to show points and figures haptically, and made several games for figure cognitive abilities. Employing visually impaired and unimpaired as participants, experiments were performed to evaluate both whether the system can take advantage of superior abilities of visually impaired and whether the system is enjoyable for them.
