FingerReader: A Wearable Interface for Reading On-the-Go

Principal Investigator Patricia Maes


FingerReader is a finger-worn device that helps the visually impaired to effectively and efficiently read paper-printed text. It works in a local-sequential manner for scanning text that enables reading of single lines or blocks of text, or skimming the text for important sections while providing auditory and haptic feedback.
