“…Götzelmann et al [23], for instance, presented a 3D-printed map to convey geographic information by touch. However, some worked on using computational methods to automatically generate tactile representations [3,25]. For example, Rodrigues et al [25] proposed an algorithm for creating tactile representations of objects presented in an artwork varying in shape and depth.…”

“…While audio guide services are in operation for some exhibition sites [72][73][74][75], it can still be difficult for BLV people to understand the spatial arrangement of objects within each painting. Tactile versions of artwork, on the other hand, allows BLV people to learn the spatial layout of objects in the scene by touch [2][3][4][5]. However, it is not feasible to make these replicas for every exhibited artwork.…”

“…The majority of the studies have prioritized images that contain useful information (e.g., facts, knowledge) over images that can be interpreted subjectively, differently from one person to another, such as artwork, using touchscreen devices. Even for artwork images, many studies have focused on delivering encyclopedia-style explanations (i.e., title, artist, painting styles) [2][3][4][5]88]. AccessArt [16] was an exception, where they demonstrated if their artwork appreciation system can enable BLV people to make their own judgements and criticism about artwork they explored.…”

“…To improve the accessibility of images for people who are blind or have low vision (BLV), a number of studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of custommade tactile versions of images [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Cavazos et al [5], for instance, proposed a 2.5D tactile representation of the artwork where blind users can feel the artwork by touch while listening to audio feedback.…”

A number of studies have been conducted to improve the accessibility of images using touchscreen devices for screen reader users. In this study, we conducted a systematic review of 33 papers to get a holistic understanding of existing approaches and to suggest a research road map given identified gaps. As a result, we identified types of images, visual information, input device and feedback modalities that were studied for improving image accessibility using touchscreen devices. Findings also revealed that there is little study how the generation of image-related information can be automated. Moreover, we confirmed that the involvement of screen reader users is mostly limited to evaluations, while input from target users during the design process is particularly important for the development of assistive technologies. Then we introduce two of our recent studies on the accessibility of artwork and comics, AccessArt and AccessComics, respectively. Based on the identified key challenges, we suggest a research agenda for improving image accessibility for screen reader users.

“…The next invention relates to a Tactile graphical tile for visually impaired, which will find application for the presentation of objects of cultural and historical heritage for users with impaired vision, who by touch can "see" and imagine the corresponding picture, icon, photo, tapestry and more, [12], [13], [14] - fig. 4a.…”

The paper presents methods and tools for tactile access of people with visual impairments to a graphical computer interface, cultural and historical heritage and temperature in the home. Different size of graphical Braille screens on the base of linear electromagnetic micro drives, tactile graphical tiles and thermometer for visual impaired are described. The presented devices give access of visual impaired people to graphical computer interface (Windows), objects of cultural and historical heritage, as well as give possibilities for better education and perception of knowledge
