论文摘要
聋哑人既有听力和视觉障碍,这使其与其他人的沟通通常取决于昂贵的技术,例如盲文显示器,或者是充当口译员的护理人员。本文介绍了莫尔斯I/O(MIO),这是一种用于Android的纤维状界面界面,通过实验和对聋哑参与者的访谈进行了评估。仅在几个小时的练习后,MIO被证明可以使一致的文本输入和认可。参与者愿意继续使用该界面,尽管在学习使用它时遇到了困难。总体而言,MIO是聋哑人的经济高效,便携式界面,无需访问盲文显示器或类似盲文。
Deafblind people have both hearing and visual impairments, which makes communication with other people often dependent on expensive technologies e.g., Braille displays, or on caregivers acting as interpreters. This paper presents Morse I/O (MIO), a vibrotactile interface for Android, evaluated through experiments and interviews with deafblind participants. MIO was shown to enable consistent text entry and recognition after only a few hours of practice. The participants were willing to continue using the interface, although there were perceived difficulties in learning to use it. Overall, MIO is a cost-effective, portable interface for deafblind people without access to Braille displays or similar.
