New research project: BrailleTech
A study on blind and visually impaired young people’s use of refreshable Braille displays (BrailleTech), funded by Nota.
The BrailleTech project aims at investigating what factors and which semiotic resources the blind users draw on, in the practical use of refreshable Braille displays. This will contribute with insights on how to support the blind user’s motivation for maintaining their Braille literacy skills in the future. The research will be based on video ethnographic methods in combination with semi-structured interviews and observation.
The results of this study will contribute with important knowledge in the continued work of making it easier for blind and visually impaired people to take part in the digital development in the educational field.
