RNIB National Centre for Tactile Diagrams
Research
We are experienced researchers in the field of visual impairment and technology.
We have several research projects investigating the perceptual experience of using tactile diagrams, and are keen to collaborate with others on research into the use of tactile diagrams.
We are particularly interested in:
- how verbal descriptions can improve the effectiveness of tactile diagrams
- standardisation of the design methods for producing tactile materials
- the evaluation of new technologies for designing and producing tactile diagrams.
