Abstract

The tactile graphic tile for the blind consists of figures (1) arranged on two levels on a tile, contours (2) around the figures (1), Braille symbols (3) in the figures (1), and Braille annotation (4) with hemispherical outwardly protruding bumps (5) . The tactile graphic tile for the blind will be used to present examples of cultural and historical heritage to visually impaired or blind users, who will be able to "see" and imagine the corresponding painting, icon, photograph, tapestry, etc. static flat objects by touching them.
