Tactile image: Brazil's vegetation map

Açıklama

Context Sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics rely on illustrations and graphs to convey their knowledge. However, blind people are limited to texts (if literate in Braille). To break this barrier, this project was based on a study¹ conducted with hundreds of printing tests with different dimensions on various materials to reduce the time and cost of manufacturing with the bases. The best results were presented to dozens of blind people to obtain the ideal dimensions for image recognition². This knowledge was applied in this one that is part of an image series, adapted to include visually impaired people in the world of imagetic knowledge. 1- BARROS, G.; CORREIA, W.; TEIXEIRA, J. M.

Therefore, the image application should be done in conjunction…
