Tactile Communication for the Deaf-Blind

tactilecommunication-1

Unable to both see and hear, deaf-blinds largely rely on their caregivers to complete even the most basic of tasks. Communication is carried out using a limited set of on-body signs. In a collaborative project with the Dutch care organisation Bartimeus, the opportunities of tactile communication technology as a simulation for human touch are explored.

HealthMirror

healthmirror-1

Designed primarily for the elderly, the HealthMirror allows its users to exercise regularly and stay in touch with health professionals and family members. The system consists of a reflective mirror, a tilted television screen, and a motion sensing device. By tracking the body’s position during exercise, direct feedback is projected on the body using the reflective mirror.

Philips HotelTV

TotalTouch

The multitouch table is a 44″ interactive display build to experiment with new ways of interaction. It engages users to work together in a natural way without keyboard and mouse.
