tactile graphics
Tactile graphics are visual representations designed to be felt rather than seen. They use raised lines, textures, and shapes to convey information, making them accessible for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. These graphics can illustrate maps, diagrams, and other educational materials, allowing users to explore concepts through touch.
Commonly used in educational settings, tactile graphics enhance learning by providing a multi-sensory experience. They can be created using various materials, such as plastic sheets, embossing techniques, or 3D printing. This approach helps to bridge the gap in understanding visual information for those with limited sight.
