Character recognition by flick movements presented on fingers

Abstract

It is general to recognize informations of languages visually or audibly. But, the recognition of such informations by haptics can be a good way according to the surrounding environment. Moreover, people who lose visual and auditory senses need a character reading method without using such senses. Though the braille is given as an example for character recognition by haptics, learning braille requires a much time and the number of its users who can read braille enough is few. Then, this report proposes a device presenting flick movements onto the fingers for character recognition.
