New Haptic device to use computers for blind persons

Abstract

A number of haptic devices have been developed that give one the sensationof touching something literally... while it is basically a mechanical or digitalcontrol mechanism that relays tactile sensations between the toucher and thetouched object. This technology will allow blind people to be able to touchthe scene or object displayed on the screen, using a matrix of steel rods torepresent each bit of information displayed on the screen to be a physicallytouchable object instead of virtual information can only be seen on thescreen. One to explore a number of avenues with tactile feedbackmechanisms they will allow us to feel things we have never felt. It also isgoing to make dramatic changes in education, medical practice, surgery,training in various disciplines.
