Sketchpad to Create Raised Line Drawings

inTACT sketchpad

The inTACT sketchpad is a versatile tool for students with visual impairments.  It can be used to create tactile graphics, and can also be used as a drawing or writing tool for young children who are blind or visually impaired.  As you draw with a stylus on the tactile film, a raised line appears under your fingertips, enabling you to feel your drawings as you go.

Possible uses include:

  • For Kids: Learn to draw early just like sighted peers
  • For Students: Draw and feel shapes, graphs, figures, and art to access education without limits
  • For TVIs: Quickly create tactile graphics by hand and interact with students on a visual and tactile medium
  • For Living: Access and create maps, diagrams, and drawings to develop and share ideas with the people around you.
