Find out how to enrich the perception of the Works!
Exclusive Features for Universal Accessibility
Tactile Cards stand out in the CITISLAB catalog for their ease of implementation and low cost, making them a smart choice for museums and institutions of all sizes. They are designed to be intuitive and are usually placed at the beginning of the exhibition itinerary or next to the works, making them available to all visitors.
In addition to the raised tactile elements, each card includes large, high-contrast color fonts to ensure better readability even for the visually impaired. Visual-tactile content is expressed clearly and simplified through relief drawing, using lines, dots and textures that can be felt by touch. This allows complex, three-dimensional objects to be represented and understood with the same approach as Braille text, but with the added visual component.
From Design to Implementation: Care and Accuracy
CITISLAB ensures that each Tactile Card possesses all the characteristics dictated by the rules of good execution of tiflological tools, ensuring an effective and universally accessible sign. This includes the correct implementation of reliefs and Braille writing, the preparation of simplified drawings but with deep content, the clarity of contour lines, and strict adherence to the proportions of the elements.
Because of these special features, the Tactile Boards offer multiple benefits: they enable those with visual impairments to have a deeper and more satisfying museum experience, while enriching the visitor experience for a wider audience, such as children or those who wish to explore the museum in an alternative way. Each card is carefully designed to represent essential details: a sculpture can be translated into a relief drawing that highlights its structure and proportions, while a painting can be described through raised lines and textures that reveal its composition and subjects. These tactile images are always accompanied by Braille-coded texts with essential information about the work.
The process begins with a critical reading of the work, developed in close collaboration with curators and art historians. This ensures that the elements chosen for tactile reproduction are the most effective in conveying the meaning of the work and that they lend themselves properly to tactile communication.
