One or more tactile effects may be mapped to application user interface elements, formatting properties, and document structure and applied to a display comprising tactile capabilities (e.g., deformable screens, vibrations, static charges, heat, etc.). Formatting, structure, and user interface elements may be mapped to different screen variations that may be felt by a visually impaired user. A visually impaired user may be able to utilize his/her sense of touch to more easily comprehend formatting and structure of a document, as well as to have greater confidence to author professional and consistently formatted and structured documents. A tactile effect may be applied to a location of a displayed user interface element, formatting property, or document structure, or may be applied to a designated area of the display. |
