“…In manufacturing industry, people use haptic operation mechanism such as robotic arms to deal with dangerous works. It is helpful for some of learning activities to apply haptic simulation equipment 13 . If a virtual archives user can feel to flip pages of virtual records, it would be more realistic than just viewing the content of a record.…”

Current interactive learning environments cannot be accessed by learners with disabilities, in particular for students with vision disabilities. Modeling techniques are necessary to map real-world experiences to virtual worlds by using 3D auditory representations of objects for blind people. In this paper, a model to design multimedia software for blind learners is presented. The model was validated with existing educational software for these users. We describe the modeling of the real world including cognitive usability testing tasks by considering not only the representation of the real world but also modeling the learner's knowledge of the virtual world. The software architecture is also described by using this model, displaying the components needed to impact learning. Finally, we analyze critical issues in designing software for learners with visual disabilities and propose some recommendations and guidelines.

“…Including haptics in our scenario offers a further important channel, parallel to visual and aural communication, which can substitute for the other sensorial streams, in particular graphic interfaces. For example, by producing forces on the user's hand depending on both the user's motions and properties of the icons under the cursor, touchable representations of the screen objects can be created [19]. Gloves with embedded sensors provide hand-grasping actions or whole-hand sensitivity.…”

Abstract. Software visualization has been almost exclusively tackled from the visual point of view; this means visualization occurs exclusively through the visual channel. This approach has its limitations. Considering previous work for blind people we propose that complementing usual approaches with those techniques used to develop interfaces for non-sighted people can enhance user awareness of logical structures or data types using different perception channels. To achieve better comprehension, we deal with new or augmented interfaces built on top of standard systems for data visualization and algorithm animation. The notion of specific concept keyboards is introduced. As a consequence, modern information and learning systems can be designed in such a way that not only sighted but also blind users can navigate within these systems.
