Learnstem: STEM Accessibility Tool for the Visually Impaired

Principal Investigator Patricia Maes


We are developing a very intuitive and interactive platform to make complex information (especially Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical material) truly accessible to blind and visually impaired students by using the tactile device with no loss of information compared with printed materials. An important goal of this project is to develop tactile information-mapping protocols through which the tactile interface can best convey educational and other graphical materials.
