Description

The participant, SB, reads a short text from Pippi Longstocking and feels a tactile image of a face. This is recorded by the automated finger-tracker, developed by Bjord Breidegard., This project started out as a feasability project, where we asked ourselves if we could construct something that would let us analyze the reading of blind people to the same high degree as eye-tracking has let us understand the reading process of seeing people. With the construction of the automated finger-tracker - we found a way. This project has then evolved to using this finger-tracker as well as IR motion tracking to measure braille reading and drawing conclusions about the reading process of blind people., Video generated by the automated finger-tracking, showing the positions of the fingers while the person is reading the braille text and telling it aloud., Video from automated finger-tracker of subject SB, reading a short text about Pippi Longstocking and telling it aloud., A diagram showing the horizontal (X) positions of the two fingers of the braille reader, and how it changes in time. The downward axis is time., Participant SB feeling a tactile image of a face, trying to identify it. Overlay from tracking coordinates onto a static image of the face., This project started out as a feasability project, where we asked ourselves if we could construct something that would let us analyze the reading of blind people to the same high degree as eye-tracking has let us understand the reading process of seeing people.
