Study on Braille, Audio, and Multimedia System for the Computer Education of the Students with Highly Visual Impairment

本文对1999 ~ 2000年两年的研究成果进行了总结。这是筑波工业大学首席研究员的最终成果。1999年调查活动的主要成果是，从视觉残疾的角度考察了筑波工业大学视障部计算机科学系学生的基础数学能力。该课题是由于在计算机科学的日常教育中，对视障学生数学能力的质疑而引起的。该研究结果是在全国学生数学能力下降的情况下，对高度视力障碍学生进行高等教育的一个值得关注的文献。2000年的活动是通过收集信息来丰富知识，以及重新整理知识以完成研究。对辅助视障人士的软件进行了硬件和软件的测试，收集了DAISY的数字记录材料和有关视障人士教育的文件。通过首席调查员十年来的全面调查，将日本数学盲文编码及其符号系统的历史变化汇编成表格，其中提出了一些值得注意的事实，如目前系统的延续符号是最近引入的等。由于计算机盲文转录技术的发展，当前的编码设计趋势是更注重准确的转录而不是对用户的有用性。合作研究者已经完成了日语盲文代码的双语表，这将为国际合作做出巨大贡献，正如之前承诺的那样。最后，本研究在日语数学盲文系统基础知识的建立方面取得了丰硕的成果。少

At the end of two years' research from 1999 to 2000 the result is summarized. This is the final work of the head investigator at Tsukuba College of Technology.The principal fruit of the investigating activity in 1999 is that the ability of basic mathematics of the students of the Department of Computer Science, Division for the Visually impaired, Tsukuba College of Technology was examined from in terms of visual disability. The subject was caused by some doubt about the mathematic ability of the visually impaired students in the daily education of computer science. The result is a noteworthy document of the advanced education of the students with highly visual disability in the situation that the decay of the mathematic ability of the student all over the country is concerned.In 2000 the activities were the enrichment of the knowledge by collecting the information as well as the rearrangement of the knowledge to conclude the research. The software assisting the visually disabled have b … More een tested with the hardware as well as the software, the digitally recorded materials of DAISY and the documents on the education of the visually disabled have been collected. Through the comprehensive investigation of the head investigator for the decade, the historical changes of the Japanese mathematic Braille code as well as its notational system have been compiled in the tables which have presented some noteworthy facts that the continuation sign of the present system was recently introduced, etc. The recent trend of code design which gives the priority to the exact transcription than the usefulness for the user maybe because of the development of computerized Braille transcription today has also been shown.The co-investigator has accomplished the bilingual table of the Japanese Braille code which will greatly contribute to the international collaboration, as promised before.Finally, the present investigation can be concluded fruitful in the establishment of the basic knowledge of the Japanese mathematic Braille system as almost scheduled.
