DEVELOPMENT OF FONT DESIGHN FOR TACTICAL MAPS, CREATED WITH THE USE OF ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Modeling technologies and 3D printing are being introduced into many branches of production, supplementing or displacing traditional methods and provide new results in various fields. Research and development based on the use of three-dimensional printing did not bypass tactile cartography, which is quite expected, given the very essence of tactile perception - the sense of touch of the surface under study. The article discusses the possibility of using 3D printing for the font design of tactile maps intended for people with limited visual function. The author presents the results of a study on the perception of Braille created with a 3D printer. An algorithm developed for converting textual and numerical data from fields in the attribute tables of geographic information system bases into inscriptions of objects executed in Braille was.
