Location Function

In this paper, the auto-location head-controlled talking machine has been carried out using computer aided design to solve the problem of communication with the outside world for the visually impaired people with multiple disabilities. The talking machine makes use of the infrared ray sensors to receive the signals launched by shaking the infrared ray emitter on their heads. The communication functions of Pinyin, associating Chinese character, debugging error are processed based on the single chip processor 89C52. Then the signals are transmitted into a personal computer through the RS-232 or USB interface. The pronounced software of head-controlled talking machine is created using text-to-speech system to achieve the communication with other people. This study also develops auto-location function by the CCD tracing module to adjust the infrared ray sensor and increase the accuracy of the head-controlled talking machine. The results of this study can improve the ability of communication for visually impaired people with multiple disabilities.

Cultural Constructions

Changing ideas on the nature of and relationship between the senses in nineteenth-century Europe constructed blindness as a disability in often complex ways. The loss or absence of sight was disabling in this period, given vision’s celebrated status, and visually impaired people faced particular social and educational challenges as well as cultural stereotyping as poor, pitiable and intellectually impaired. However, the experience of blind people also came to challenge received ideas that the visual was the privileged mode of accessing information about the world, and contributed to an increasingly complex understanding of the tactile sense. In this chapter, we consider how changing theories of the senses helped shape competing narratives of identity for visually impaired people in the nineteenth century, opening up new possibilities for the embodied experience of blind people by impressing their sensory ability, rather than lack thereof. We focus on a theme that held particular social and cultural interest in nineteenth-century accounts of blindness: travel and geography.
