3D Printed Interactive Multi-Storey Model for People with Visual Impairments: Co-Design Process and Comparative Study between a 3D Model and 2D Tactile Maps

The understanding of multi-level spatial topologies is a difficult and frequent challenge in people with visual impairments daily life, impacting their independent mobility. Using the tools of the “maker” movement, and following an iterative co-design process with Orientation and Mobility instructors, we created an i…
