Designing tangible interfaces for the low vision community.

All code used in prototyping can be found in the touch_map directory.

Requirements

The WaveHC library, courtesy of Adafruit. Needed to interface with the Arduino Wave Shield

An Arduino with at least an ATmega328 chip

Minor soldering skills

Built using

• An Arduino Uno
• A multiplexer, in this case Sparkfun's 8channel breakout board (ID #74HC4051)
• Force Sensitive Resistors (FSR), in this case Adafruit's 3/4in FSRs (ID #166)
• An Arduino-friendly audio shield, in this case Adafruit's Wave Shield (ID #94)
• A lot of wiring and 10Kohm resistors
