The Feb 16 issue of the Edupage mailing (URL http://educause.unc.edu/edupage.html) contains the following item. >>>> ONLINE SITE AIDS VISUALLY IMPAIRED A Purdue University research and development program has created a program that allows visually impaired students to work with charts, graphs, diagrams, and maps. A drawing printed on special paper is run through a heater that causes the black ink lines, Braille letters and markings to bubble up in a raised image. (AP 15 Feb 99) http://www.purdue.edu/odos/TAEVIS/index.htm <<<< The site describes techniques authors should use to produce good results with the technology, such as using broad, solid lines in diagrams. It also includes a brief description of the Nemeth Braille Code for engineering and scientific material such as chemical diagrams.
