Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an interactive board game system using tactile and auditory senses for the visually impaired. Reversi was implemented because it has relatively simple rules. We performed experiments to evaluate the system with visually impaired and sighted persons. Results show that the visually impaired could play Reversi smoothly using the interactive system.
