Abstract
There is a lack of awareness about dyslexia among people in our society. More often than not, there are many misconceptions surrounding the diagnosis of dyslexia, leading to misjudgements and misunderstanding about dyslexics from the workplace to school. This paper presents a multimodal interactive installation designed to communicate the emotional ordeal faced by dyslexics, allowing those who do not understand to see through the lens of those with dyslexia. The main component of this installation is a projection mapping technique used to enhance typography, simulating the experience of dyslexia. Projection mapping makes it possible to create a natural augmented information presentation method on the tangible surface of a specially designed printed book. The user interface combines a color–tracking sensor and a projection to create a camera–projector system. The described system performs tabletop object detection and automatic projection mapping, using page flipping as user interaction. Such a system can be adapted to fit different contexts and installation spaces, for the purpose of education and awareness. There is also the potential to conduct further research with real dyslexia patients.
