A Prototype Tactile Mouse for GUI Presentation

Graphical user interface is widely used in PC applications, but it becomes a big drawback for persons with visual disability. Tactile displays have been already developed for them, but they are usually large and expensive. Here a prototype of tactile mouse, which is a mouse with small-sized tactile display, was developed and evaluated in shape recognition. A neural network program, n-Design, was used for compiling experimental data.
