Abstract
This work proposes an electronic device to teach Braille. The goal of our prototype is to be a pedagogical strategy to teach Braille to people suffering from visual disability. The teaching process applies to people with visual impairment, while visually deploying to those who support the teaching process. The prototype was tested among two groups of participants and the results are discussed.
