I am not at all an expert in the field, but in 2013 at the State of the Map (SotM) conference there was a presentation of an interest project called Haptomai by Christian Graf and Frank Wippich. The presentation title was: "Haptomai: An online service for customizable tactile maps". Briefly, the project was about providing a service to produce "customizable emaps for the blind". Those maps were printed in a particular way such that the users (blind or visually impaired people) could get some information touching the maps. The idea was tested by the creators organizing trips for blind people - with an accompanying person to provide assistance - and providing the, with this tactile maps. See the video of the presentation (in English): http://vimeo.com/78562730 This is the project website but it is only available in German: http://www.haptomai.de/ Cristian _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
