| Dreaming a Fingertip Conversation with You _ TactuaL [si:gak] series is a project presenting a communicational method for the visually handicapped to the non-handicapped using physical computing. |
Dreaming a Fingertip Conversation with You _ tactuaL [si:gak] series is visual-touch communicating device that permutes time delay in touch sense out-put in Braille reading into visual images which enables people who communicate through general visual images to understand its meaning. The hardware consists of three parts; the input section, which is touch sensor connected to object, Wiring I/O board, which mediates signals in between, and the output section of Display and Sound output. This work consists of 3 parts in display: 1. tactuaLight [text] : LED display panel 2. tactuaLight [image] : LED display panel 3. tactuaListening [sound] : Sound output & Projected display panel These installations use the software, the Processing Language that implements dynamic graphics on display panel and the Wiring, a hardware-controlling program contained inside of the Wiring I/O board. The input signal from the touch sensor, which senses the static electricity of fingertips, can transform into LED power control output signal or Sound output signal in Wiring. Also in Processing, signal from serial port gives direct affect on elements of constituent changes. In the interaction process, audience can communicate with the work that implements into dynamic image, sound and text contain message. |

| This study focuses on how to read textual expressions by using tactual & visual senses. Each installation works by an input signal from a touch sensor. Spectators can see texts and pictures, and hear the sounds by tactual input behavior. | ||
| Through this interactive process, we can understand how the blind may feel. >>> back to top |
