Proposal of an innovative interface for a tangible communication between PCs and visually impared people by using air propelled new technique of wind elements (wixel)

摘要

Viusally impared people face many obstacles to interact properly with the current screen/visually oriented technologies, as monitors or in using Internet, being destined just for users with good visual ability.
