Outline of Final Research Achievements	In this study, for acquisition of objective data regarding readability of raised character from both domestically and abroad, we conducted some experiments to investigate the readability of raised character. From this study, we learned a lot about fundamental knowledge of readability of raised character from our exemeriments. This knowledge will be useful in creating more effective tactile aids and revising domestic and international standards of tactile aids.
