Project Title	AISAYZ: 3D- Acoustic Augmented Vocabulary Learning Environments for Blind Learners
Project Category	Innovation
Abstract	Abstract AiSays combines the use of augmented learning environments with 3D acoustic technology- (3D audio) in helping visually-impaired or blind learners to learn vocabulary in a specific target language. Specifically, the blind leaners can navigate through the learning environments via an augmented interface through their mobile phone and learn each word as it is pronounced out loud using 3D audio. Examples of the world usage are also produced clearly, in order to enhance their understanding. This sharpens their cognitive ability in creating mental representations of the words that they picked up when interacting with the augmented interface rather than learning through the conventional dictionary-like approach. Also, instructors or teachers can make use of the tool to create suitable vocabulary learning materials for their blind learners.
