Abstract:<\/p>\n
Four different platforms were compared in a task of exploring an angular stimulus and reporting its value.\u00a0 The angle was explored visually, tangibly as raised fine-grit sandpaper, or on a touch-screen with a frictional or vibratory signal.\u00a0 All platforms produced highly accurate angle judgments.\u00a0 Differences were found, however, in exploration time, with vision fastest as expected, followed by tangible, vibration, and friction.\u00a0 Relative to the tangible display, touch-screens evidenced greater noise in the perceived angular value, with a particular disadvantage for friction.\u00a0 The latter must be interpreted in the context of a first-generation display and a rapidly advancing technology.\u00a0 On the whole, the results point both to promise and barriers in the use of refreshable graphical displays for blind people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
