Equal accessibility to public places and services is now required
by law in many countries. In the case of the vision-impaired, it is
often the use of specialised technology which can provide them with
a fuller enjoyment of all the facilities of society from large
scale meetings and public entertainments to the more personal level
of reading a book or making music. In this volume the engineering
and design principles and techniques used in assistive technology
for blind and vision-impaired people are explained.
Features:
a [ instruction in the physiology of the human visual system and
methods of measuring visual ability;
a [ explanation of many devices designed for every-day living in
terms of generic electrical engineering principles;
a [ sections of practical projects and investigations which will
give the reader ideas for student work and for self teaching;
a [ contributions by authors of international repute from divers
fields which co-operate under the banner of assistive technology,
among them: artificial vision systems; psychology, haptics,
electrical engineering, design and visual physiology.
Assistive Technology for Vision-impaired and Blind People is an
an effective means of maintaining the currency of knowledge for
engineers and health workers working to provide devices and/or
services for people with sight loss and an excellent source of
reference for students working in assistive technology and
rehabilitation.
