Tactile Graphics
Tactile graphics are visual representations designed to be felt rather than seen, primarily used to convey information to individuals who are blind or visually impaired. These graphics often incorporate raised lines, textures, and symbols that allow users to explore and understand concepts through touch. Common applications include maps, diagrams, and illustrations that enhance learning and accessibility.
Creating tactile graphics involves specialized techniques and materials, such as thermoforming or embossing, to produce raised surfaces. These graphics can be used in educational settings, museums, and other environments to provide an inclusive experience, ensuring that everyone has access to important visual information.
