摘要

This paper presents the development of the In-Visible Island platform’s second prototype, a tangible user interface (TUI) designed to provide an inclusive learning experience for visually impaired children. The research employed a user-centered design approach, incorporating feedback from the first prototype to enhance the platform’s design, reduce weight, and update the storytelling system. The storytelling system leverages the Akka framework to enable real-time, interactive experiences with features like background sounds. Expert interviews with a technologist, designer, and artist provided valuable insights on inclusive design, interactive technologies, and the challenges and opportunities of social innovation in education. The findings highlight the importance of complex storylines, data security, affordability, and creative approaches for inclusive design. The In-Visible Island project demonstrates the potential of TUI for creating engaging and accessible learning environments for visually impaired children.
