Multisensory technology for visually impaired children and adults
Subject:
Multisensory technology for visually impaired children and adults
Abstract:
We live in a multisensory environment in which vision, audition, and touch collaborate to improve the quality of the interaction with the environment. Multisensory signals are moreover integrated to enhance the quality of our perception. In the absence of vision, the audio and tactile information can support the development of spatial and body representation. In this talk, I’ll present our results on how multisensory technology can be a support for children and adults with visual impairment in the fields of rehabilitation, mobility, and game.
