TACMON2

- The aim of TACMON2 is to develop an innovative technology for the low-cost realization of a large area Interactive Graphical Tactile Display as a computer peripheral for visually impaired people, providing them a new dimension of access to graphical oriented electronic information and to a wider range of PC applications. The software part of this project: TACMON Image Conversion Tool is an intelligent image conversion software, which can convert figures, diagrams, charts and maps into simplified touchable format. The output of this software can also be used with commercial braille embossers. Apart from this tool, the software contains an SDK and API to support developers to develop additional applications for the TACMON display and a Training Application that can be used to train the visually impaired how to use this new PC periphery.
