Tactile Design
The inclusion of tactile and haptic information in the design expands accessibility for people with visual impairments. Surfaces with differentiated textures, braille characters and podo-tactile elements provide a multisensory experience to understand the environment.
- Tactile information: In addition to seeing, people can also use touch to understand things.
- Haptic resources: materials with different textures that allow information to be identified by touch.
- Podo-tactile information to guide through the ground or specific surfaces.
- Characters in braille or low relief for people with visual disabilities.
