Body-Braille has several advantages compared to other Braille systems. The control device of Body-Braille is named “B-brll” and has several interfaces including RS-232C and DTMF. Some basic experiments to measure the speed of reading Braille were performed and the mean reading time for one Braille cell was 0.5-1.4 seconds, which is fast enough for some useful applications. Using Body-Braille, a Tele-support system was developed as an application and good results were obtained. Furthermore, a newly developed idea which presents Braille character using only 2 points instead of 6 points and new equipment corresponding to this idea which has significant possibility for a very practical products, are described.}, pages = {682--685}, title = {Body-Braille System for Disabled People}, volume = {LNCS5105}, year = {}, yomi = {オオツカ, サトシ and ササキ, ノブユキ and ハラカワ, テツミ} }
