Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents our results obtained in the development of geometric figures in two dimensions (2D) performed by a novel program developed and intended primarily for people with visual impairments, allowing functions to date not available for this type of users, like accessibility to produce and print geometric designs by self. The program treats the projection and creation of geometric shapes mathematically from the own parameters. Later it depicts their respective tactile representation, obtained by a joint printing on the same sheet of Braille, reliefs, and a common impression in ink designed for people who can see, to facilitate their understanding if they are unaware the Braille format. |
