£750.00

Can a picture be touched? With the PIAF Tactile Image Maker, they can! Images rise and are ready in an instant. Draw, print or copy pictures onto PIAF swell paper and pass it through the PIAF. PIAF produces high-quality tactile graphics using heat-sensitive capsule paper, PIAF’s controlled heat source causes any black lines, letters or shapes that are drawn, printed or copied onto the capsule paper to swell. The result is an instant tactile graphic that can be read with the fingers. Images and graphics help us to understand what is difficult to be described with words, making it an ideal solution for people who are blind and visually impaired in many environments.

Education

In early education PIAF can be used to introduce simple shapes and basic concepts; to introduce the concept of drawing and two-dimensional rendering of solid objects; to encourage students in taking the first tentative steps to express themselves graphically, and to teach the concepts of handwriting and signatures. Later, PIAF can be used to access graphical information in nearly all subject areas, especially Mathematics and Sciences.

Orientation and Mobility

PIAF can produce high-quality local area maps for orientation and mobility training or make campus or building maps for students or employees.

Employment

With PIAF, blind and visually impaired people can understand information on a computer screen, grasp the organisational structure of the business and access sales charts. One or two tactile diagrams can save thousands of words.

Home

PIAF can be used to make a chess board accessible, accessing of pictures to know the difference between a giraffe and a leopard and explore world maps to identify where countries are located.

The PIAF is especially effective when used with the Tangible Magic Paper. This paper with its superb characteristics allows the user to run it through the PIAF multiple times without compromising the quality of what has already been puffed up. This feature makes producing and handling tactile images more interactive and dynamic.
