Tactogram (2021)
By Fariz FadhlillahTactogram or 'Tactile Pictogram' is a universal orientation and mobility system designed based on the hierarchy of information needs by the visually impaired while they are in public spaces.
Those information hierarchies represent in geometry. Tactogram forms are readable through a shape discrimination technique and understood the meaning semantically. The selection of geometric shapes as a visual system is not only considered to be identified precisely but also to optimize the performance of System Working Memory (SWM).
The designed drawing system is by matching the hierarchy of information needs from the most important to the geometric shapes with the least angle. Tactogram intends to support visually impaired traveling activities in the city independently. It hopes to be an applicative contribution in responding to global vision health challenges in the future. Particularly for developing countries with the highest rate of visually impaired people that often encounter funding problems in growing more massive inclusive public spaces.
