Touch Screen (Touch Tablet)

425.00

The TOUCHSCREEN is an inexpensive, rugged and simple computer peripheral device designed for use as a ‘viewer’ for audio/tactile materials. Most simply, it consists of an off-the-shelf computer touch screen connected to a PC via a USB cable. A simple clamp design allows a user with limited manual dexterity to hold a selected tactile graphic sheet motionless in place against the touch-sensitive surface.

When a user presses points on a tactile sheet that is placed on the TOUCHSCREEN, his or her finger pressure is transmitted and the TOUCHSCREEN communicates the X an Y coordinates to the computer. By comparing the position of each pick against the program’s hotspots, the computer is able to provide identifying audio feedback to the user, as a confirmation and elaboration of the information supplied through touching. By this means, complicated tactile figures can be made comprehensible.

Through the use of multimedia authoring tools such as Macromedia Director, Talking Tactile Tablet* and the T3** softwares, a range of sophisticated interactive software titles can be used.

**The T3 software titles are available from the Royal National College, UK
