Through surveys and experiments with the blind and the visually impaired, this project will work to identify optimal conditions for combining force feedback technology with an online Braille generator. The final product of this research will enable visually impaired people to enjoy all library services and resources as well as the enormous amount of information on the Web more freely. The project was submitted under this year's Research Topic 1 – Accessibility and Universal Design in Library Services and Resources.
