“…Some of the common problems of touchscreen graphics manipulation are: the time it takes to complete a drawing compared with an audio drawing tool, difficulties in finding exact locations, navigating on a digital screen or a drawing sheet, finding the starting and ending points, and finding relative positioning. Nevertheless speech-based solutions are relatively mature, low cost, fairly easy to use, and take less time to complete in a learning environment [6] [13] [14] [15]. If a message is conveyed by voice, it has to be short and easy to understand due to the possibility of exceeding working memory capacity.…”

One of the main problems faced by blind learners is a lack of drawing technologies that support images and diagram drawing without the help of a sighted support worker. Even though some technologies have been experimented with in the past, blind learners have not been keen on tactile drawing due to: the difficulty of the drawing task, the length of time taken to complete a simple task, and the inefficiency of the drawing experience. This paper presents a set of grammar tools that can be used by blind people to find spatial orientation, as well as knowledge and representation of the interactive drawing environment, to improve the understanding of a concept or a subject matter. The grammar can be adopted and personalised in education and learning when presenting technical diagrams. The grammar enables users to present graphics by mapping the cognitive visualisation of blind people into spatial information on a computer screen. This technique promotes an interactive and easy drawing environment to build objects, associations, and layout information by zooming, navigation, and grouping. It will lead to future possibilities such as 3D world modelling, printing, and multisensory integration of inputs and output methods.

The study presents an adaptation of the Mastermind game for blind users called MasterBlind. The game mechanics were simplified and auditory feedback introduced. The research object was to understand what kind of sounds would work better to help blind people play the game. Three versions were presented to the subjects - pentatonic notes, animal sounds and vowels - to help users recall previous steps in the game. The main hypothesis predicted that blind users would consciously benefit from the auditory feedback provided. The second hypothesis predicted that users would benefit less from the feedback that doesn't provide semantic information- auditory icons versus earcons. The results were congruent with the hypothesis. MasterBlind can be a usable, enjoyable and a challenging experience for blind users as long as it provides semantically significant feedback. However, new developments are in progress to prove our ideas having in mind the inclusion of blind people.
