  • Abstract
    We present the final evaluation of an audio-haptic editor and explorer for virtual 2D relief drawings that allow visually impaired users to create and explore graphical images. The application has been developed in collaboration with a user reference group of five blind/low vision school children, and has undergone final evaluation during spring in 2007. The AHEAD application has been used to create material that has been successfully used in school work.
