title = "Parallel braille on smartphones for deaf-blind people",
abstract = "The objective of this work is to develop an interaction method that uses the touch screen of smartphones and embedded vibration mechanisms. During the study, three methods of communication with deaf-blind were analyzed: Morse code, Braille code for one device, parallel Braille code for two devices. The new concept is the third one. The main device send one column of the Braille code to the second device, then both vibrate own columns of the current character. Analysis of methods was carried out by comparing the reading time and correctness of character recognition for different time units of vibration signals. Considering the fact that the efficiency and the correctness of the characters recognition of the parallel Braille are similar to Morse, this approach seems to be quite an interesting alternative for deaf-blind users.",
