Designing a Low-cost Finger Wearable Audio-tactile Device

Published: 24 October 2019 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes the design process of ColorTact, a finger wearable device for accessing audio annotations on tactile diagrams. It is designed to cater a seamless audio experience while exploring the tactile images. The device consists of a color sensor which can sense the discrete color tagged areas on the diagrams and can give the corresponding audio/sound output saved in the color-to-audio mapping profile. It also allows users to use both hands to probe tactile images without restricting the movement and the tactile sensation of finger tips. It is standalone, easy to setup, low cost, and does not use any of the complex hardware or back-end image processing methods.
