Main Methods:

  • Developed interactive software for registration using two cameras and a microphone.
  • Implemented MPEG-2 video compression and storage solutions.
  • Created an automatic finger-tracking system with semiautomatic syllable-level speech tracking.

Main Results:

  • Successfully developed and tested a novel technology for analyzing finger movements in tactile reading.
  • The system integrates video and audio registration with advanced tracking algorithms.
  • A pilot project with congenitally blind subjects demonstrated the system's efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • The developed technology offers a groundbreaking approach to studying tactile reading.
  • This toolset facilitates large-scale research into Braille and tactile image interaction.
  • It paves the way for enhanced understanding and support for visually impaired readers.
