Abstract
 Hagi and Hosokawa have been involved in the research of tactile maps in the Hashimoto laboratory of the Department of Social Engineering at Nagoya Institute of Technology, and are currently developing three-dimensional hazard maps that visually impaired people can touch. Cut out the target location from the Japan map, perform image processing, convert it to STL data, and perform machining. As the first report, we introduce a tactile map that expands the road enough to pinch it with a finger so that the evacuation route can be identified.
