| Abstract(in English) | We are developing the Tactile Automatic Creation System (TMACS) which enables blind persons to produce tactile maps with screen readers. The current system produces tactile maps on capsule paper. According to the request of blind persons, we started developing programs for printing tactile maps with the embosser. There are two methods for producing embossed tactile maps: one is to output tactile maps directly to the embosser and the other is to create EDEL files. We held a workshop for blind persons and asked the participants the usability of tactile maps produced with our new programs. |
