Visually challenged students to soon have access to user-friendly Braille maps – Education News
Visually challenged students across the country will soon be able to access Braille maps which are designed and developed using digital embossing technology, thereby enabling them for ease of use, user-friendly, better feeling and durability in terms of quality.
The digital embossing technique removes the need for printing plates, moulds, chemicals, and solvents, while also generating no emissions or waste and lowering total energy consumption. National Atlas and Thematic Mapping Organisation was the first in India to introduce, create, and implement this technology (NATMO).
The maps produced using this technology are not only useful for high-speed production of the maps but can also produce Braille maps that can be used by more people for years together. Maps which were produced with previous technologies have been observed to lose their readability and feeling experience over a short span of time.
