This design fiction contributes to offer a possibility of future tangible interface. It is dedicated to children without sight who will be able to read the comics beyond touching Braille. Rather, they can understand the form of characters through touching the texture-based interface.
The Problems
The team project of design fiction is named Tactile Reader (TR). It focuses on the issue of how children without sight are able to read the comics beyond touching the Braille (i.e. the words used by the blind). It will contribute a variety of aspects in terms reading, learning and playing experience for children to explore. The early information of TR, the potential problems and its detailed information of the proposed contribution have been listed as below:

Background Research
All the team members involve in doing the background research and discussion in terms of pictures and voice interaction. The background research is based case studies of kid games and people without sight are able to perceive the pictures. The background research contributes the potential solution of the app’s interface in design process.

Case Studies
Process
Group Process is mainly recorded the group meetings and the discussion of the storyboard of video, filming and our supervisor Deb’s feedback of the design fiction.
Group Progress:
Group works
After tutor’s feedback
Solution
According to background research and the discussion with group members, the solution focuses on voice interaction and the texture design of materials in interface part. The purpose is to ensure that children without sight are able to have a smooth experience when they are reading the comics.
