This paper considers the design and development of an innovative geometry tablet to enhance the perception of 2D shapes, lines, and angles for visually impaired students. In Sect. 1 (Introduction), the importance of such a device is considered by evaluating the state of the current literature in the field of aiding the visually impaired. In Sect. 2 (Methodology), the development process is outlined from identifying the problem statement, to brainstorming, to aligning customer requirements with functional requirements through a Quality Function Deployment, and designing four switch mechanism iterations. Finally, in Sect. 3 (Results and Discussion), the results of the QFD matrix highlight the correlations and priorities established between customer and functional requirements and testing data on the switches are outlined to assess key factors like reliability, ergonomics, and adequacy-for-purpose. The research aids the visually impaired population in their navigation of day-to-day life through a better understanding of the objects in the world around them. Additionally, such improvements in teaching geometry to this sector of the population will help with the removal of the stigma surrounding blind people’s ability to learn, and in the future, contribute to the field of maths as geometers.
