Method for enabling at least a user, in particular a blind user, to perceive a shape in a virtual space

A method enabling at least one blind user to perceive a form using at least one sensory stimulator including creating at least one virtual sensor having a multiplicity of analysis fields; displacing the virtual sensor with a pointing device on or towards the form; and controlling a sensitive element...

More Information
Summary:A method enabling at least one blind user to perceive a form using at least one sensory stimulator including creating at least one virtual sensor having a multiplicity of analysis fields; displacing the virtual sensor with a pointing device on or towards the form; and controlling a sensitive element of the sensory stimulator with each analysis field to enable perception of the form with the sensory stimulator by modifying the state of each sensitive element; and a device for implementing the method, including a computer with a memory in which the form is contained, the computer being optionally associated with a display screen; a pointing device; and at least one sensory stimulator.
