 note = {A wearable haptic tactile interface, TAJODA II, was designed as an aid for the hearing
and/or visually impaired. The device includes a small camera, small microphone, accelerometer,
and tactile display so that it can be integrated with a mobile device such as a smartphone. The whole
device measures 69×115×29 mm and weighs 160 g excluding the batteries (two AAA). The tactile
display consists of a 32-channel vibrator matrix, and has the function of representing images or
sounds detected by the camera or the microphone as vibration patterns on the fingertip pad. Since the
tactile display also functions as a tactile sensor, tactile information obtained by striking or tracing
the display is presented on another receiver’s tactile display, enabling it to be used also for deafblind
people. This paper describes the design concept and the basic functions of the tactile interface,
and explains how the interface is useful for the blind based on the results of preliminary evaluation
experiments carried out by a blind person.},
