Abstract

<p>This study aims to prototype a stiffness identification experience kit for people who are visually impaired and wish to become licensed masseurs, based on the needs of acupuncture, moxibustion, and manual therapy teachers at schools for the blind. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the information transmission method was examined. We prototyped a stiffness identification experience kit consisting of eight devices and conducted an experiment in which users were asked to sort the stiffness of the phantom in order from soft to hard. The accuracy and speed of the sorting and the effectiveness of the stiffness confirmation method using voice and tactile numbers were evaluated respectively. The results confirmed that users could accurately and relatively quickly identify the stiffness of the phantom. Additionally, the results showed that voice could be effective as a confirmation method for the stiffness of the phantom. Conversely, it became clear that the content of the voice information output and the types of tactile objects need to be further studied.</p>
