Webinar: Tactile Graphic Production Overview

Creating clear, accurate tactile graphics is essential for accessibility, but with so many tools and techniques available, how do you choose the right ones for your project?

In this session, we’ll examine the full landscape of tactile graphic technologies and their practical applications:

• Why Production Methods Matter: Longevity, durability, cost, and how classroom needs differ from individual or home use.
• Current Technologies in Use: From Swell Paper and UV wide-format printing to thermoforming, embossers, and refreshable Braille displays—strengths, limitations, and best-fit scenarios.
• Emerging & Future Directions: 3D printing and next-generation displays with higher resolution and faster refresh rates.
• Practical Guidance: How to match technologies to user needs while balancing cost, training, and accessibility.

This interactive webinar, presented by ViewPlus and APH, will feature a conversational format with Q&A throughout. By the end, you’ll have a clear framework for selecting the right mix of tools to create effective, accessible tactile graphics—no single “best” technology, but a set of options to fit your context.
