Tactile Graphics

The use of tactile graphics requires a connection and context to the interpretive story in order to make sense to the end user. Objects should be easily identifiable and consistent with the theme. The amount of detail that is provided contributes to the success of a tactile object. Some objects can be presented in profile or varying degrees of bas-relief. It is important that relative objects be presented in scale to one another. When scale is violated, it can lead to confusion.
