0603198EnikovThe main goal of this proposal is to develop a novel 3D tactile display that allows students of science and math to "touch" virtual 3D objects using a finger-worn micro-tactile display. The development of a novel 3 D tactile display will aid visually impaired in recognizing and studying complex three dimednioanl objects. The approach is unique building upon new fabrication techniques as well as using PC based 3D virtual presentation that allow a user of the proposed device to identify 3D objects via the tactile illusion phenomenon. The project would have a great impact on visually impaired people. The proposed project will allow the visually impaired to access computers and specifically, allow greater access to the internet. The educational activities are very prepared for the training and supervision of students at all educational levels and for developing design courses. The outreach activities will include summer activities for STEM teachers who will be invited to bring visually impaired students for a demonstration of the developed technology.

[603198enikov]本提案的主要目标是开发一种新颖的3D触觉显示器，允许科学和数学专业的学生使用手指佩戴的微触觉显示器“触摸”虚拟3D物体。一种新型三维触觉显示器的开发将帮助视障人士识别和研究复杂的三维物体。该方法是基于新的制造技术以及基于PC的3D虚拟演示的独特方法，该方法允许所提议设备的用户通过触觉错觉现象识别3D物体。这个项目将对视障人士产生很大的影响。拟议的项目将允许视障人士使用电脑，特别是允许更多的人使用互联网。教育活动是为培训和监督所有教育水平的学生以及开发设计课程而精心准备的。外展活动将包括STEM教师的暑期活动，他们将被邀请带视障学生参观已开发的技术。
