Elaboración de un juguete interactivo sonoro para la enseñanza del sistema Braille

This project is about an interactive sound toy for children that are blind or visually impaired. By means of an audio guide that has been programmed and recorded previously, the toy allows the user to learn how to read using the Braille system. The toy consists of a plush toy that cointains a wooden box with switches, an internal microprocessor and an audio output. The toy has six independent switches, one for each one of the dots present in the Braille generator symbol, and an additional button so the users can ask the system to check their answers. The internal processor is used to recognize which switch is pressed and wich one is not in order to recognize if the letter has been formed correctly. If not, the toy repeats the instruction and ask the user to try again until a successful attempt is made. It should be noted that besides being introduced in the ecuatorian educational model for visually impaired kids, this interactive toy creates a system for social inclusion in the classroom. Additionally, the toy would help the user to develop the touch and hearing sense autonomally; i.e. without the need of a teacher.
