A Practical Workshop for the Blid to Make Touchable Figures

Abstract

This paper reports a practical workshop for the blind held at Kanazawa 21 Century Museum in Kanazawa City on March, 2006. In this workshop, we used Computer Graphics and 3D Engraving Machine (MDX-40, Roland) for aiding the blind to make touchable figures represented images. The images of computer graphics change the form by input the numerical number and sounds inform the forms for the blind. In the paper, the practical reports are discussed. Furthermore, we discuss the touchable guide map made by the 3D Engraving Machines for the exhibition held on the same time.
