Tactile Diagrams for the Visually Impaired

In this information-driven era, the use of pictorial forms of communication has become widely popular, making the world increasingly inaccessible to visually impaired and blind individuals. Accessing print media has also been a challenge for this population. Braille, a standard writing system for perception through touch, and audio translations of written text have made books accessible to the visually impaired. However, both these formats fail to make pictures and graphics accessible to the blind.
