The purpose of this study is to look at the fun that high school students from blind schools feel in sports programs. A questionnaire was used to collect data from 10 out of 12 blind schools nationwide, including 122 male and 102 female students. Research tools are open questionnaires and questions are as follows. - Questionnaire: "Write down three of the most interesting things about sports programs." The data analysis was done with frequency analysis and the following conclusions were drawn. First, male high school students at blind schools are able to build up their physical strength in the area of competent factors (control-self) (23, 21.5%), in the area of competent factors (7, 77.8%) and in the area of motion-related factors (competition) (24, 15.1%), and in the area of non-execution factors (26, 37.7%), Second, high school girls with visual impairments did not respond in the areas of proficiency (control-self) because of stress release (25, 26.6%), in the areas of control-tain), in the areas of movement (competition) because they were able to do various exercises (22, 15.7%), and in the areas of non-watering (environmental) (18, 37.5%). Third, in the sports program comparative analysis of high school students between genders of blind schools, boys are interested in health and physical fitness in the field of competent factors (control-self) and girls are considered to be a means of relieving stress. In the field of competent factors (control-others), boys and girls can react to a variety of sports opportunities. In the future, by studying the fun of students in the physical education program through research to find out more fun in the school physical education program, we will explore practical ways to maximize student participation and increase motivation level The educational aspect of the process, that is, the educational value provided by the physical education, should be composed of content that can change the thinking and behavior of the teacher and the student so that the program contents and operation method.

We conducted a long-term and short-term usability testing on the built-in speech synthesizer of a screen-reader for the people with visual impairments. A total of 20 persons with visual impairments participated in the short-term usability testing, and 10 of them participated in the long-term usability testing. Naturalness and clarity of the synthetic speech were evaluated by MOS scores, preference for various synthetic speeches was examined through a preference test, and the users' satisfaction level and other requirements for the synthetic speech were evaluated by open feedback. We also examined naturalness, clarity, preference, and user requirements for the synthetic speech through a long-term usability testing. Then, we compare and contrast the long-term and short-term usability testing results.

Purpose: This study examined the life experiences of the wives of men who were born with normal vision but gradually developed a visual impairment, with particular focus on their way of facing and coping with their life crisis. Method: A narrative approach was used to not only understand women's experiences within sociocultural contexts, but also reveal the subjective meaning of their personal life stories through their own voices. A purposive sample of three participants having husbands unexpectedly diagnosed with visual impairment during their marriage was recruited. The data were analyzed using the narrative analysis methods suggested by Clandinin and Connelly. Results: The wives took the crisis of their husbands' visual impairment as an economic crisis of the family. They faced a variety of difficulties, including extreme despair, role changes, and economic burdens. On the other hand, they tried to keep the family secure through a range of coping strategies that were motivated by compassion toward the husbands, maternal affection for the children, and a sense of responsibility for their families. Conclusion: This study revealed the need for financial support for temporarily disadvantaged families. In addition, various nursing and counseling programs for the family members will also be needed to help recover the family functions.

Currently, the accessibility of households for the visually impaired has increased compared to the past, but there are still many shortcomings in existing methods, and conversely, in the process of changing to a touch screen, there have been more situations that cannot be determined by hand. In this paper, we propose a method to increase the accessibility of blind people to refrigerators, one of the essential furniture, by changing people's action to voice with device linkage and server communication.

이전부터 시각 장애인들은 제한된 인쇄매체를 사용해왔다. 하지만 시각 장애인들은 각종 데이터 및 콘텐츠 정보에 대한 접근성이 부족하여 일반인과의 정보 격차가 심화될 수밖에 없다. 이를 해결하기 위해 시각 장애인의 환경을 개선할 수 있는 여러 장비들이 개발되고 있다. 그 중에서도 문자 표기의 경우 점자 표기로 대체하여 사용되어왔으며 대표적인 예로는 점자 출력 장치가 있다. 하지만 기존의 점자 출력 장치는 고가이며 경제적으로 어려운 시각장애인의 경우 구입하기 어렵다. 또한 제조사 별로 제공하는 콘텐츠 수의 한계로 인해 보다 효과적인 사용이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 디바이스와 연동 가능한 저가형 점자 출력 장치를 제안한다.

우리에겐 익숙하고 쉽게 느껴지지만, 누군가에겐 어려운 것들이 존재한다. 예로 시각 장애인에게는 거리를 돌아다니는 것, 거리를 달린다는 것은 상당한 용기가 필요한 일이다. 경북대학교 재학 중인 시각 장애인 김경훈 학우는 자신의 유튜브 채널에 등교하는 거리에 익숙해지도록 여러 번 걸어 다니며 연습하는 모습의 영상을 올린 적이 있다. 또 다른 시각장애인은 국민 청원에 트레이닝에 대한 지원 요청을 한 적이 있다. 우리는 이런 사례들을 조사하여 거리에 나가지 않아도, 위험요소를 생각하지 않아도 할 수 있는, 그 누구도 차별 받지 않고 모두가 자연스럽게 운동에 집중할 수 있는 홈 트레이닝 시스템을 구현하였다.

재난 상황 발생 시 정보 습득이 어려워 시각장애인의 경우 초동대응 시간을 놓치게 된다. 특히나 화재사고 사상자 중 사망자 비중이 장애인은 비장애인에 비해 약 4 배 ~ 5 배 더 높으며 현재까지도 사상자가 발생하여 중요한 사회문제로 논의되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 스마트 대피 시스템의 한계점을 살펴보고 한계점을 개선할 수 있는 대안을 제시한다. 초동 시간 내에 사회복지사와 소방관이 사용자의 실시간 위치와 정보를 파악해 신고를 유도함과 동시에 자력 대피가 가능하도록 최적 대피 경로를 능동적으로 결정하여 안내방송을 출력하는 시스템을 소개한다.

In this study, specific elements and functions in modules of the AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) application for children with severe and multiple disabilities were elicited, and screen interface was designed accordingly. As results, screen configuration, communication display edition, audiovisual output, and switch and scanning modules were defined. Screen configuration module consists of communication category, spelling board, favorites, screen lock, and setting function. The Communication display edition module includes communication categories, symbols, and favorites edition. The audiovisual output module provides the ability to adjust the pitch, intensity, speed, and tone of the voice individually in the form of auditory output. In the form of visual output, the background color and size of the frame, border color and thickness are adjusted. The switch and scanning module provides a function to select by pressing the switch when the symbol cell is highlighted audibly and visually. The development of the AAC application designed in this study is needed.
