  • Abstract
    It is difficult to teach visually impaired children body movements. The traditional way to learn body movements is for the teacher to hold the hand of the visually impaired child. However, this approach is time consuming, laborious, and ineffective. Because of the development of sensing technology, it can be applied to military detection, medical care, security monitoring, crop growth, and technology education. This study reports the design and implementation of a body movement assistance device for visually impaired children. This study also designs a control program to allow users to easily conduct body movement teaching. Teachers can use this program to teach body movements and increase student interest.
