ATAC: Providing Tactile Graphics for Other Images

A complex 3 dimensional cutaway drawing of the human skin with all kinds of biological systems represented. It's difficult to determine what to say about the figure making a text description inadequate due to the need to describe shapes, spacial info, etc.An illustration of the completed tactile diagram for the previous complex 3d figure. The illustration shows braille used to create a figure label, a brief tactile tour, and a legend. Below the braille is the 2 dimentional schematic representation of the 3d drawing. Different line types and shading are used to indicate features. The complexity was reduced significantly to just the pieces referred to in the text.
