tactile graphics

Tactile graphics are visual representations, like drawings or maps, designed specifically for people who are blind or visually impaired. They use raised lines, textures, and patterns that can be felt with the fingers to convey information such as shapes, locations, or data. This allows individuals to interpret visual content through touch, enhancing independence and understanding of visual information. Tactile graphics can include diagrams, charts, or illustrations, making accessible learning and navigation possible where traditional visuals are not perceivable.
