Mumbai: A visually challenged person cannot see the beauty of the Taj Mahal. But now he will be able to 'feel' the beauty of the monument by touching the exteriors of a scaled-down model of the Taj.
Sounds unreal, but a team from IIT-Bombay believes that the use of haptic technology - in simpler words, the science of touch - can make this a reality.
