Design and Implementation of an RFID Based Tactile Communication Device

Abstract

Teaching a language using tactile vocabulary objects is an effective method of teaching for those with who have communication disabilities such as being blind or deaf. The effectiveness of tactile language learning can be greatly complemented by a tactile communication device, which allows students to easily form sentences then quickly and accurately relay them to the teacher. This paper goes over the design and quantitative results of a tactile communication device specifically based around the inclusion of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) modules.
