Abstract: This paper presents a Virtual Reality (VR) system that allows visual impaired users to explore Virtual Environments (VEs) by a haptic/acoustic interaction. The system may have many interesting educational applications: indeed visually impaired people can access and learn informative contents conveyed by opportunely designed and rendered 3D VEs. Moreover a visual 3D scene editor allows domain experts, responsible of the learning process, to design the VE even if not well grounded in VR. This tool enables an easy prototipization and a fast modification of the haptic/acoustic rendering to fit users feedback: therefore the design of the learning experience arises from the cooperation of the domain expert with the final users.
