SCRIPOR ALPHABET - METHOD FOR REPRESENTING COLORS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND BLIND PEOPLE

摘要

A method for color representation and recognition by blind or visually impaired persons that allows the recognition, differentiation and learning of colors in a tactile way by the blind, visually impaired and by the people who suffer from other affections or intellectual disabilities. There is a color matrix in tactile language for tactile color recognition which consists of 10 points, of which 9 points are arranged on three columns of three points and a point of orientation. The orientation point is located at the top, above the second column and will be ubiquitous for each color or shade. This method implies the using of a punch mark, like the one used to write the Braille Alphabet.
