Entry Description

TactileLink is a tablet app links visually-impaired students with educator, helping them learn raised-line graphics through auditory cues. It addresses the challenges of both teaching and learning. The app enables educators to teach multiple students simultaneously using sonification, eliminating the need for one-on-one instruction. It also supports student's independent study after class. The project is scalable for both group and remote learning, featuring a 3D-printed tablet frame and the software that optimize for the most common education device, ensuring easy setup and affordability.
