Let TactileView draw grids and math functions!
TactileView creates pictures for people who can not see. These pictures are transformed for them into tactile graphics. Blind people can read them by touch and interpret the tactile material. Easy to use tools are available for the design and production of tactile pictures, diagrams and maps.
Produce your very own tactile graphics: The TactileView concept consists of design software for the creation of tactile graphics and an international web catalog with ready-to-use designs. The software allows production (printing) on a braille embosser or on swell paper (microcapsule paper) or on our TactiPad drawing board with the Thinkable motorised drawing arm (MDA).
For more information on tactile graphics have a look atĀ About tactile graphics.
