Working closely with the Superindent and O&M Trainers, Touch Graphics created five talking tactile maps showing the campus as a whole, and the interior of the main classroom building. The maps highlight “tactile points of interest”, touchable sculptures, fountains and braille signage scattered all over campus.

• An index of places on campus appears on the right side.

• Rising-pitch sonification guides users finger to any destination in the index.

  • Layer 2: Function

  • Layer 3: Directions
