Abstract

This work aims design and implementation of a device, which allows blind users to read digital material from the PC through a Braille display electrodes. With this device and after further training, the user will be able to access a huge amount of digital material, achieving higher performance in studies, work, etc., thus achieving greater social inclusion. The prototype accepts plaintext, loaded from a computer, which is transmitted to a Braille display electrode, where the surface of the finger is stimulated electrically with the purpose to simulate the same pressure and embossing of braille paper. This prototype is an initial project, which will serve as a starting point for improving the same and the development of multiple applications.
