Motorized Drawing Arm (MDA)
The MDA is a computer-driven motorised arm that draws tactile graphics from digital templates on the TactiPad Drawing Board. It combines the accuracy of digital graphics with the versatility of drawing by hand. Digital drawing and tactile perception almost works simultaneously with the MDA!
TactileView Drawing Software
The TactileView software by Thinkable creates tactile graphics. Besides the software with easy to use tools, there is an international web catalogue with graphic templates. After designing them on the computer, the images can be printed on a braille embosser or on swell paper (microcapsule paper).
TactiPad Drawing Board
TactiPad by Thinkable is a drawing board which enables a VIP to make or perceive a tactile drawing. These drawings are made on a plastic foil. By lightly pressing down on the foil while drawing, the lines raise instantly. Ergonomic design and included drawing tools.
CircleFrame
CircleFrame allows you to draw circles—such as mandalas, pie charts, or clocks—on the TactiPad. The central opening lets you rotate the wedge tool and templates 360 degrees and align them with degree markings for patterns and angles.
TactiForma
26 tools on the TactiPad create precise basic shapes (e.g., rectangles, triangles, squares, ellipses, gears, polygons) without the need for measurement. Fast and accurate for professionals, with the ability to combine shapes into 3D design.
