Tactile Design for Accessibility | Accessibility NYC Meetup Recap

On December 3, 2019, Accessibility New York City hosted a meetup entitled “Tactile Design for Accessibility.” Presenter Lauren Race, Research Fellow at the NYU Ability Project, hosted a two-part interactive workshop. The first half of the session highlighted design standards and best practices for producing discernible tactile graphics. The second half of the session provided hands-on experience by inviting attendees to design and produce their own take-home tactile designs using microcapsule paper and a fuser.

Here are some of our favorite moments from the workshop:

• Inclusive Design: Four Main Takeaways
• Tactile Schematics: A Use Case for Tactile Graphics
• Tactile Design Workshop Show & Tell
