“…Empathy alone may not suffice to sustain attention [27], simulations may inadvertently create biases or distress [53], resulting in perpetuated ableism [25]. More recent focus is on co-designing with people with disabilities (e.g., [7,32,33,74]); e.g., citizens, healthcare professionals, and designers co-design personalized healthcare solutions [33], sighted and blind participants design building navigation together [32]. Collective efforts to enhance the user experience can extend the impact beyond individuals with disabilities alone, encompassing different abilities of all [48,61,63].…”

“…Some, but not all, of the icons could be recognised without reference to a legend. Wang et al went on to create eight representational 3D icons based on these guidelines and others [36,37,46] but did not evaluate their usefulness beyond the fact that they were understandable when used on a 3D map [92]. Systematic testing of such icons is required, along with more detailed design guidelines.…”

“…Preliminary work has suggested that some representational 3D tactile icons can be recognised by touch without use of a legend, reducing the cognitive effort required to interpret tactile maps and providing a format that is engaging for both blind and sighted users [17,46,92]. Such a solution would address BLV requests for standardised tactile map icons that can be used across a range of maps.…”

Fig. 1. Design and touch testing of 3D printed tactile icons for maps of parks, playgrounds and shops.Visual icons provide immediate recognition of features on print maps but do not translate well for touch reading by people who are blind or have low vision due to the low fidelity of tactile perception. We explored 3D printed icons as an equivalent to visual icons for tactile maps addressing these problems. We designed over 200 tactile icons (TactIcons) for street and park maps. These were touch tested by blind and sighted people, resulting in a corpus of 33 icons that can be recognised instantly and a further 34 icons that are easily learned. Importantly, this work has informed the creation of detailed guidelines for the design of TactIcons and a practical methodology for touch testing new TactIcons. It is hoped that this work will contribute to the creation of more inclusive, user-friendly tactile maps for people who are blind or have low vision.
