The TactiPad is an A4 sized drawing board with which you can make raised line drawings as VIP (Visual Impaired Person). Or others can make raised line drawings for you. The drawing happens on a thin plastic sheet placed on a rubber subsoil. Upon pressing with a pen or any other pointy device on the sheet, a raised line will develop. This is a very old technique, which makes use of the so-called ‘emboss’ effect, meaning the plastic sheet will be stretched by the tip of the pen. Afterwards, the transformations cannot be undone.

In addition to the TactiPad drawing board you receive A ruler, a compass, a 30Triangle, a 45triangle, a protractor, a pen, 10 pushpins and 50 sheets of drawing foil for your first creations. All stored in a semi-leather carrying case.

The basic way to draw on the TactiPad is to use the entire A4 surface and the measurement indications along the four sides of the frame. Make freehand drawings with just a pen.
