Inclusive Methods for Co-Design Between Blind and Sighted...
summary
A library lab teaches blind and sighted designers to produce usable tactile graphics by hand sketching on sensational blackboards, digitizing vectors in Illustrator, and printing on swell form microcapsule paper or embossers; alternatives include thermoform and 3D printing. The team builds a new symbol set and reaches consensus after nine iterations, then delivers panels used successfully on a zero‑G flight. Practical notes: embossers cost $1.5–6k, TactileView ≈$500, SVG hand‑coding or co‑design workflows center blind designers and avoid bottlenecks.
