Abstract

The tactile graphic portrait for the blind consists of a tile (1), contours (2), figures (3), Braille symbols (4), and Braille annotation (5), representing hemispherical protruding bumps (6). The tactile graphic portrait for the blind will be used to present examples of cultural and historical heritage to visually impaired or blind users, who, through tactile touch, will be able to "see" and imagine the respective painting, icon, photograph, tapestry, etc. static flat objects.
