Innovative research explores wearable tech for enhanced accessibility and communication for the visually impaired.
This research project investigates the development of Luminous Braille Technology as an innovative approach to wearable human-computer interaction. The objective of this work is to explore the integration of tactile braille systems with luminous signaling mechanisms within textile-based environments, enabling enhanced accessibility, safety, and communication for blind and visually impaired individuals. This study proposes a conceptual and technological framework combining smart textiles, embedded light-emitting components, and adaptive interface design. The approach focuses on the interaction between physical materials, wearable systems, and human-centered accessibility requirements. The system is designed to transform garments from passive elements into active communicative interfaces, capable of conveying information through both tactile and visual modalities in real-world environments. Potential applications include assistive wearable systems, safety-oriented clothing, and interactive textile interfaces. This work contributes to the fields of wearable technology, accessibility engineering, and human-computer interaction.
