Tactile Mouse 3 - TAMO3: learning geometry in absence of vision - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia

TAMO3 (TActile MOuse 3) is a sensory substitution device that allow to perceive virtual objects with touch. The novelty is that its electro-mechanical complexity is low (only one finger is stimulated by a combination of three motors) and objects are discovered thanks to natural active exploration. It can be used in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learning topics or to train visually impaired children with basic geometry (3D maps, 3D diagrams).
