Abstract
Tactile graphic displays represent an important medium for communicating information to the blind. Because the need for such displays often cannot be met by standard mass production methods, practitioners have had to fabricate them on an individual basis. This article describes the development, evaluation, and testing of a kit which includes tools and information for facilitating the construction of readable tactile graphic displays.Keywords
