Detact - A Tangible Navigation Device

Leon Burg, Jannes Daur, Johannes Rothkegel

Detact is a concept for a tactile map system which can help visually impaired people explore and comprehend new places. In the future, pin-based shape displays could be advanced enough to make traditionally two dimensional information tangible. This technology would enable Detact to be used flexibly in any location with variable layers of information.
