Tactile Vision Impressions

Tactile vision impressions refer to the phenomenon where individuals, especially those who are blind or visually impaired, perceive visual information through their sense of touch. For example, they might interpret textures, shapes, or patterns to understand images or environments. This process allows them to create mental representations of visual objects by feeling their contours, surfaces, or spatial arrangements. Tactile vision bridging the sensory gap enhances spatial awareness and object recognition, making it a vital technique in tactile learning and navigation for those with impaired or absent sight.
