Design and Development of a Low-Cost Exergaming System for Visually Impaired Students (LES-VIS) to Improve Mathematical Learning Skills and Physical Activity

Abstract

Braille is a widely used and popular medium of VIS to read and write in academia. This was invented by Louis Braille, who introduced the concept of raised dot technique to a grid of 3x2 binary matrix. The braille method is the common technique that VIS use in formal education in India, where VIS reads by sensing raised-dot with fingers and writes by slate and stylus. This writing process happens via keeping the thick paper in between slates and embossment of braille characters (i.e., math numbers, alphabetical letters, etc.) using a stylus. This study will help in bringing the new method of intervention in VIS where the use of technology will help make the whole process more user-friendly as well as track the overall progress of the user in a more digital format to get more insights. The intervention of digital media to improve mathematical as well as physical activity will help the overall development of VIS.
