Write it right without sight: 'Robotic pen guides the hand of the blind'

By DAVID FAUCHEUX

From the New Scientist news service, April 4, 2008...

"The 'McSig,' a forced-feedback pen, has been developed by University of Glasgow researchers to help blind and visually impaired children write clearly and consistently by gently guiding their hand. In addition to haptic feedback, the system offers audio cues, with stereo sound panning to the left and right as the pen moved horizontally..."

Could this help blind students learn shapes kinesthetically?

IMAGINE That!
