✦ Synopsis


The paper describes an approach to arranging advanced techniques in human-computer interaction for blind persons and how that new technology can be advantageously applied for blind children and their integration. The basic idea is to hold texts and drawings on electronic counterparts of paper rather than on real paper. Innovative easy computer interaction techniques allow blind as well as sighted persons involved to read, write and draw on the same sheet of electronic paper. This procedure provides a fast and direct text exchange between blind students and their sighted teachers, and it relieves the student of carrying and storing huge amounts of paper braille material. Karl P. Din're is a senior scientist in the Computer Science Department of the University of Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany. Previously, he held positions at the universities of Hannover and Erlangen (FRG) and at Brook_haven National Laboratory at Upton, N.Y. He has been engaged in research on data structures, algorithms, computer-assisted instruction and human-computer interaction, in particular interactive interfaces for the blind. He received his M.Sc. (1963( ) ~md Ph.D. (1969) ) in mathematics from the Technical University of Hannover (FRG). He is a member of ACM, GI, IEEE, and of subcommittees on computing and the handicapped of these societies.
