Peer reviewedHinton, R. A. L. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1991
An approach to the transcription of visual art into tactile form is described, with regard to the effects of relief, texture, and picture context. The impact of such pictures on the blind user's understanding of spatial relationships, distance, and perspective and as a stimulus for creative artwork is discussed. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedHinton, R. A. L.; Ayres, D. G. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1987
The Tactile Diagrams Research Project at Loughborough University of Technology (England) developed 164 tactile diagrams for teaching 22 biological themes to blind students. Evaluation of the diagrams found most to be effective when properly introduced to students, and used with supporting text or tapes. (CB)
