System and method for integrating tactile language with the visual alphanumeric characters

摘要

The invention comprises of a mapping system that integrates tactile language (specifically level 1 Braille) with the visual alphanumeric alphabet. Creating a unified tacto-visual form of communication and recording. Configuring alphanumeric characters in order to present simultaneous direct relationships between the individual alphanumeric elements and their tactile corollaries with in a single form. The segments of each alphanumeric character are configured to meet at points of tactility. Creating tacto-visual characters comprised of 2 languages (i.e. Level 1 Braille & the visual alphanumeric character set). The configurations of the characters create a legible and readable simultaneous form of communication. In doing so the invention provides a tactile surface for blind readers to engage with a visual source for full vision readers and a hybrid for low vision readers. By allow the tactile communication to occupy the same location as the alphanumeric visual communication it provides a certainty in how a blind individual engages a physical interface. Providing the ability to engage and learn interfaces that exact same way the visually impaired or full vision user would.
