We are developing a very intuitive and interactive platform to make complex information- -- especially science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) material -- truly accessible to blind and visually impaired students by using a tactile device with no loss of information compared with printed materials. A key goal of this project is to develop tactile information-mapping protocols through which the tactile interface can best convey educational and other graphical materials.
