Title
TDraw: a computer-based tactile drawing tool for blind people
Abstract
Considerations about blind p eople's relation to p ictures of real world ob jects lead to the c onclusion that blind and sighted people have very similar mental models of the 3D world. Because perception works completely differently, the mapping of the 3D world to a 2D picture differs s ignificantly. A tool has been developed to allow blind people to draw pictures and at the same time study their drawing process. A first evaluation shows interesting results. These will eventually lead to a design o f a rendering tool for (tactile) pictures for blind people.
