The study is testing a tactile interface that presents cross-sections of 3D models on a dynamic tactile display. If you were at the recent NFBW convention, you probably had a chance to experience this dynamic tactile display first-hand.</span></p><p class="elementToProof" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 17.25px;"><span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">During the research session, participants will explore physical objects and digital models using the tactile display and describe what they feel and how they interpret the structure. This research will help in the design of more accessible 3D modeling tools.</span></p><h2 class="elementToProof" style="text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 24.5333px; margin: 8pt 0in 4pt;
