Accessible Information

The concept of inclusive education goes beyond considering the needs of people with disabilities; it refers to the process of recognizing the students' learning needs and to act according to such needs. People with visual limitations do not necessarily require more attention and dedication than other people; they only need to be initially guided and to have accessible information. Thus, one of the main challenges of universal education is to generate inclusive and assistive educational technologies, which can be used for the teaching and learning of people with disabilities. In this chapter, the development and assessment of haptic-enabled virtual reality learning systems for the education of non-sighted people are presented and discussed. These virtual systems represent the research work conducted to promote the accessible education of blind people and to determine the effectiveness of virtual touch in the education of blind people.

Teaching Learning

The inclusion of people with disabilities in society is an issue that is currently becoming relevant. This is why technology is in a constant struggle to develop tools that meet the needs of this sector of the population and with it fulfill this objective. One of these disabilities is blindness. Therefore, this chapter shows an analysis of the application of virtual reality (VR) and haptic devices as support tools in the teaching-learning of people with such disabilities through the study of various projects that have implement these technologies, obtaining the advantages and disadvantages offered by these resources. For this, an analysis is made from the point of view of accessibility that it presents as well as the approach of the user-centered design (UCD).

The Voice

<p>Technology has its wide range of applications in every field potentially even on the Mobile technology. One of the technologies which accomplish the blind person in android mobile is Virtual Reality. In spite of virtual reality is engaged to effectuate the operations, the blind person attention is one of the most important statistics. Although mobile devices include operative features available for amaurotic users, the user interface of the greater part of the mobile apps is designed for sighted people. If they carry out any mistakes to use the apps it may lead to a wrong call. So, one may think of a technology that diminishes the anxiety of a blind person for using apps. The proposed system converts the text into audio for giving the directions to the blind person about the gestures inferred. For such conversion a technique called speech synthesizer is used. Assorted innovative tools are used in mobile phones. Blind people need to confide in normal person for creating and updating a contact. Our project incorporates the gestures from the blind people and confirms the gestures through voice. Gesture conversion is accomplished by using haptic technology. An amaurotic person can create a new contact and they can invoke the contact by using this voice confirmation. During calling if there is multiple contact list, caller setting are initialized and ask the preference from the blind people, progress the voice call.</p>

Acoustic virtual reality was used to develop a platform that induces an alteration of the audiomotor coordination. This platform was used on typical subject and early blind participants and the comparison exposed higher sensitivity to audiomotor coordination alterations in early blind people compared to the typical population.
