Abstract
A prototype of a tactile television system has been developed, in which a television camera image is projected onto the skin of the back by means of vibrating electromechanical stimulators. Blind subjects, within a few hours of training, have learned to identify geometric forms, movement in depth, environmental objects, photographs of faces, and block letter words.Keywords
