Tacto-Caso was based on the fact that visually challenged people rely on their sense of touch for pattern perception, much as the rest of us depend on vision. If a blind person has extra training in the use of touch for tasks such as Braille or spatial orientation, then we might expect increased skill as a consequence.
As I looked around for inspiration, I was eager in making the design accessible to all which was inspired by my elder brother, who falls into the 20 percent of the visually impaired population of our country. The interactions with the Blind People Association of Ahmedabad, India, and L. V. Prasad Hyderabad India also fueled the interest to develop the Tacto-Caso.
Prototype Testing at Blind People Association
India is home to 20 percent of the World’s Visually impaired, which means around 40 million people in India, Including 1.6 million children who are Blind or visually impaired. So, Tacto-Caso is made keeping in mind the necessities and requirements of the specially abled.
