P.4 Design and build a portable Braille fingerspelling communication device for deafblind people. This will involve the following tasks:

(a)Communication with a group of deafblind people on their requirements from the device. This will involve choosing an appropriate methodology, obtaining ethical permission and contacting appropriate organisations of or that work with deafblind people.

(b)Using the results of task (a), draw up performance and other specifications for the device.

(c)Construct a prototype device.

(d)Devise and implement a test programme for the device to test its technical performance, including functionality and safety.

(e)If possible, obtain the appropriate ethical permission and test the device with end-users. You should record end-user attitudes to the device and their suggestions for improvements, as well as their performance with the device. You should take account of all the issues listed in P.1.
