Wayshowing for the visually impaired.

Following on from the braille poster and the "music from braille" which I will post when finished, I am going to look into wayshowing for the visually impaired as part of my MA. It all dovetails into the tactile side of using natural materials in signage. My goal will be to provide equal access to location information to people with visual disabilities. Without the ability to see surrounding location information, such as street signs and landmarks, it is difficult for a visually impaired person to determine the accurate direction to travel and to efficiently move from place to place. The inability to know location information can often result in fear, reluctance to leave one's home or known routes, and a consequent withdrawal from major life participation in work, family and community.
