Abstract

Shape-changing interfaces contribute to inclusive education for visually impaired people by improving the communication between students and the system through tactile feedback. In addition to touching a screen or pressing a button, students can fold, squeeze, and twist graspable physical elements to understand learning content in an enhanced way. By reading texts and listening to audio captions, students can grab physicalized numbers and perceive the results of science experiments in a tactile way. In this paper, we review shape-changing interfaces and envision how they can be used for inclusive education.
