Find out how to enrich the perception of Art Works!
Too often, traditional caption tags fail to meet the criteria for inclusivity, excluding a significant segment of visitors. Our Tactile Signs are created precisely to overcome these barriers, integrating universal design principles and cutting-edge technology for a complete experience.
To achieve full accessibility, our signs include:
- Adequate Illumination: For instant viewing and optimal readability in all lighting conditions.
- Strategic Placement: Placed next to the work and at an ideal height to facilitate approach and tactile exploration.
- Optimal Tilt: Designed with proper tilt to promote tactile exploration and easy reading.
- High Readability Texts: Use of graceless fonts (generally body 16 and up), preferably in raised and uppercase block letters, to ensure clarity for all.
- Multi-Format Content: Transposition of texts into Braille code and integration of audio content accessible via QR Code, offering multiple information channels.
- Intuitive Formatting: Left-hand “flag” text composition for universal readability.
- Multilingual Options: Upon request, integration of English language version to cater to an international audience.
CITISLAB’s Tactile Signs not only meet these rigorous ergonomic criteria, but also integrate harmoniously with the identity and expressive character of each exhibition venue. Our attention to visibility (given by lighting, contrast, colors) and readability (which also depends on the “degree of reader training”) ensures that the information is not only present, but also easily usable by all.
360-Degree Benefits: Beyond Accessibility
It is critical to understand that inclusive solutions such as our Tactile Signs do not only benefit people with visual impairments. On the contrary, they have a positive impact on the visitor experience for all visitors. Children, the elderly, people with learning disabilities, or simply those seeking a different and deeper way to interact with cultural heritage will find our plaques a valuable tool. The multisensory approach enriches understanding and makes the visit more engaging and memorable for everyone.
CITISLAB’s Tactile Plaques are an integral and complementary part of the Accessible Museum Routes we propose, working in synergy with other solutions such as Minimal Landscape Totems, Tactile Panels, Tactile Tables and Tactile Boards, to ensure maximum readability and usability of the works and spaces.
