ABSTRACT: The purpose of this project is to explore different possibilities to produce tactile pictures that are comprehensible by the visually impaired. As a part of the thesis, different methods including micro actuator arrays which produce virtual 3D tactile displays, braille board with movable dots pins which is capable of producing refreshable braille, and techniques like thermoform, swell paper and silk screen which are capable of producing tactile pictures are studied. Bearing in mind factors like time, effort, cost and reusability, a 3D printer seems to handle the problem more efficiently compared to the above mentioned approaches. The 3D printer is therefore chosen to produce tactile pictures according to a set of example use cases. The use cases are modeled in software and viewed as stereolithographic (.stl) files. The .stl files are fed as input to the printer and the obtained results will be tactile in nature as well as accurate up to 100 microns, which complies with Americans with Disabilities Act standards. As a whole, we explored different user interfaces for the visually impaired and came out with a cost-effective solution/user-interface which can produce a 3D version of a 2D picture using recyclable plastic. This method can be used to produce "pictures" for the visually impaired. It can also be used, in future work, for training visually impaired individuals to understand 2D images on a touchscreen.

Blind and visually impaired individuals have historically demonstrated a low participation in the fields of science, engineering, mathematics, and technology (STEM). This low participation is reflected in both their education and career choices. Despite the establishment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), blind and visually impaired (BVI) students continue to academically fall below the level of their sighted peers in the areas of science and math. Although this deficit is created by many factors, this study focuses on the lack of adequate accessible image based materials. Traditional methods for creating accessible image materials for the vision impaired have included detailed verbal descriptions accompanying an image or conversion into a simplified tactile graphic. It is very common that no substitute materials will be provided to students within STEM courses because they are image rich disciplines and often include a large number images, diagrams and charts. Additionally, images that are translated into text or simplified into basic line drawings are frequently inadequate because they rely on the interpretations of resource personnel who do not have expertise in STEM. Within this study, a method to create a new type of tactile 3D image was developed using High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Computer Numeric Control (CNC) milling. These tactile image boards preserve high levels of detail when compared to the original print image. To determine the discernibility and effectiveness of tactile images, these customizable boards were tested in various university classrooms as well as in participation studies which included BVI and sighted students. Results from these studies indicate that tactile images are discernable and were found to improve performance in lab exercises as much as 60% for those with visual impairment. Incorporating tactile HDPE 3D images into a classroom setting was shown to increase the interest, participation and performance of BVI students suggesting that this type of 3D tactile image should be incorporated into STEM classes to increase the participation of these students and improve the level of training they receive in science and math.

The amount of people who suffer from some kind of visual disability right now is staggering: 253 million people were suffering from some type of visual impairment by 2015, and this numbers aren't stopping. These are people that can't get access to an equal learning experience as child or a fair competition in the workplace. Tactile Graphics are a kind of representation of images for the blind that can leverage in some way the disadvantages these people have, by letting the blind sense the content of images through their touch. Although the technology for creating these kind of images has improved a lot, the means to find them and provide Tactile Graphics to people is very inefficient. In this paper, we present a solution to this problem, taking advantage of the knowledge we have about Tactile Graphics at the moment and using the benefits of Machine Learning to know what exactly defines a good tactile graphic.

Due to the varied history of learning among disabled students, educators should ideally develop content tailored to each student’s specific needs. However, in order to accomplish this, educators require easy-to-handle software and hardware for creating original content and aid for students with disabilities in their classes. Handmade Teaching Materials for Students With Disabilities provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of materials and technology made to help teachers in providing content and aid for students with disabilities and their applications within education. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as assistive technologies, instructional practice, and teaching materials, this book is ideally designed for school teachers, pre-service teachers, academicians, researchers, and parents seeking current research on advancements in materials provided for teachers of disabled students.

Young children who are visually impaired and have additional disabilities need to learn to use their sense of touch effectively to promote their growth, development, and ability to communicate. This manual provides teachers, early interventionists, and parents with critical information about alternative communication methods not based on the use of vision as well as countless practical strategies. Topics include assessing a child's skills, planning interventions, and selecting appropriate tactile strategies to meet the child's needs.

This publication covers different themes in the field of assistive technology. The theme New technologies will explore the significant advances in technology research & development and how these can be harnessed to benefit people with disabilities. This will include evolving technologies, affording interesting insights into the future. The theme User Centred Approach will look at fundamental ways in which the EU advocate a philosophy of citizenship and governance and how this philosophy can be advanced to ensure that people with disabilities become central to the assistive technology process Another issue that is explored in this publication is Interdisciplinary Approaches which can be developed within assistive technology and the provision of services to people with disabilities. Finally, it concentrates on ways in which practitioners and users, working together within assistive technology, can achieve best practice in the development and implementation of Guidelines and Standards across a broad spectrum.
