Abstract： [Purpose/significance] In the promotion process of the civil reading, it is of great social significance to meet the reading needs of visually impaired people and ensure their reading rights. With the advent of the Internet era, people's reading habits and interests begin to expand from traditional texts to diversified forms, such as words, images and graphics.[Method/process] In this paper, the related problems of blind reading are discussed and a novel tactile interaction framework for blind reading is presented. The tactile cognition and perceived characteristics is firstly analyzed and then a set of the key issues about blind reading are elucidated. By introducing a typical force feedback device to build a tactile interaction system, the experiment is comprised of two stages:the effectiveness of tactile reading and the comprehensibility of information resources at different levels.[Result/conclusion] Experimental results showed that the tactile interaction system has excellent performances in immersion, interactivity and feasibility. It is proved that there are differences in the difficulty of tactile reading and comprehensibility of information resources at different levels, and the rational introduction of cognitive training mechanism can effectively improve the operator's perception and recognition ability.
