Enhancing interaction of visually-impaired children with sighted ones by means of a mobile app and accompanying toy set

  

The venture aims to promote social integration by providing an interactive storytelling mobile app with a physical animal toy set which is designed for children, regardless of their visual abilities. The toys are embedded with a Bluetooth module for connecting them with the games in the app. Using the tactile mat on the mobile device and selecting different story scenarios in the app, visually impaired children and sighted ones can create stories together with the toy set and share their feelings.
