Tactile Perception Somatosensory system 3
Tactile Perception Limitations • Resolution of human fingertip: 25 dpi • Tactual field of perception is no bigger than the size of the fingertips of two hands • Color information is replaced by texture information • Visual bandwidth is 1, 000 bits per second, tactile is 100 bits per second 4
Resolution Study. 35 mm 1 mm 2 mm • On average, blind participants could sense 1 mm separation but no smaller. • On average, sighted participant could sense 1. 5 mm separation but no smaller. 5
Blind Spatial Perception • Tactile perception can lead to a “spatial” model in the brain.

Tactile Graphics Printing • Embossing Printer • Thermoform • Swell Paper 9
Tiger Embosser • 20 dpi (raised dots per inch) • 7 height levels (only 3 or 4 are distinguishable) • Prints Braille text and graphics • Prints dot patterns for texture • Invented by a blind physicist, John Gardner 10

TGA Workflow • Advantages – Much faster production – Batch processing instead of one figure at a time – Much tedious work is avoided • Disadvantages – May be of lower quality than custom translation – A lot of technology needs to be mastered 17

Preference • 4 preferred silent – To be honest, I use screen readers every day and I am so sick of electronic noise. • 4 preferred finger pointing – I like the concept of the finger pointing. I feel more confident that since it looks for a finger it’s getting the right QR code if you have multiple on the same page. • 2 preferred verbal – The other thing I like about Verbal mode is that every time I hear a zero I think so I need to move it a little bit 29
Braille comparison In a study of 82 images from a pre-calculus textbook, on average Braille took up more space – Braille was larger in 326 out of 626 labels • Braille labels: 327 sq. mm • QR codes: 225 sq. mm 30
