Braille in Digital Age: For Better Communication

Abstract

Our project focuses on assistive technology based on human-computer interaction principles, providing simultaneously that products are user-friendly and meet specific user needs. Accessibility engineering, or designing and developing technology accessible to people with different abilities and usable by them, is another very important point here. Frequently, this field requires interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, designers, therapists, and end-users in the development of effective, practical solutions. The idea of this project is based upon the smartphone-based solution for the varied kinds of problems that people with vision disabilities face. Before a solution or tool for the blind moves forward, the needs of the target group must be analysed. This was by considering the fact that smartphones are highly accessible, and developers just overlook it in creating a solution to aid the visually impaired in their issues using the capabilities of the smartphone. The approach that is proposed will give an abstraction layer above the OS and will have many functionalities that allow it to co-act with a blind user-it also gives a user interface.
