| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) Software was developed that extracts walls only from floor plans and outputs them as vector lines. (2) It was shown that the conventional Braille font is easy to read tactually when printed at 17 to 18 points on capsule paper. (3) 3D measurements of raising on capsule paper revealed (a) the minimum heat setting that is necessary to raise Braille font sufficiently, (b) the dots on the four sides of the paper have less expansion than the dots near the center of the sheet, (c) the wider the lines are, the greater the expansion is and (d) the heights for the intersections are larger than those for the line parts. (4) A new Braille font was developed for printing on capsule paper. An experiment showed that it is more legible than conventional Braille font. (5) A tactile graphics Web site was created and the tactile maps ever created was uploaded there.
