It was done using adobe illustrator and a laser cutter on my school. It has two variations, wood and plastic. The wood is painted red from the side which is enables the user to see it much better in the distance. Both rulers has measurements that are divided by quarters. Full inches has a long and wider engraving, half inches are shorter and narrower and the quarter inches are a series of dots. I was planning on doing embossings rather then engravings, but I could not find a machine that will do it for me. I tried going for 3d printing route but its costly and doesn't support my preferred size. There's another prototype that's not yet physically produced. This will be akin to a click ruler, but like my other ruler the embossing will vary in shape. There will be a slider to let it produce sound, and I'm currently developing acoustics on it to further expand the different pitches. Think of it like an instrument.I'm willing to share any information regarding my project. I just think my project however small may help people. I still have the illustrator file, and if anyone wants it I'll be able to send it to you ASAP. On Sat, Jun 8, 2019, 2:30 PM  <tags-request at nfbnet.org> wrote:Send TAGS mailing list submissions to

Hello. I'm Leeahnn victorio, a visually impaired/legally blind graphic
designer. Last winter I was tasked to solve a problem, I chose to solve my
problem about rulers so I made one. As of now there's three prototypes and
designs available all are tactile based and one pitch based. I want to
share my designs to the community, and wondering If anyone would be
interested to take a look at them.

Thank you, apologizes if this was sent out before.

Hi all,

it's a pleasure to share that I was able to organize a Tactile
painting exhibition at my work place.? The exhibit had 16 artists with
vision loss displaying their artworks.? They had created their
paintings in last month during two workshops, the first one was all
about learning to use colors, various tactile material and execution
on canvas.? During the second one, they got to create their paintings
after coming up with interesting themes and ideas.? I was so anxious
how all this will turn out, but I am so glad the exhibition was a
grand success.? There were over 130 visitors, both sighted and
visually impaired who enjoyed the artworks. Local media came down to
cover the event. I am happy that this event was able to spread
awareness among the community about the abilities of visually impaired
in a country like India where disability is still considered a stigma.
I am sharing the description and Dropbox links to images of each
painting? below.

1.? ? ? The night beauty
Painting by: Chetna Punjabi
Despite the darkness in the night, the beauty of the swan on the lake
fills the air with splendor. The lotus exudes its fragrance adding to
the existing magic. Collectively, both elements in this painting
convey that nature?s beauty can exist even in darkest moments.

Painting by: Syed Abbu Bakar
Cheery and happy flower, always following the sun, turning its back to

seeds. Is there a better flower than this one? This painting is
simple, yet it aptly describes the wonder flower, the sunflower!

4.? ? ? The full moon night
Painting by: P. Abhilash
Decorating the night sky, the full moon stands in its fullest glory.

appreciate its beauty. This painting represents the loyal
companionship between the full moon and night.

its long voyage.? This painting is a reminder to those who are away
that their home awaits them no matter where they are.

9.? ? ? Are you there?
Painting by KKD. Pavan Kumar
, The rising sun, the silent waters, the chirping bird, the majestic
mountains and refreshing greenery, what more can be asked for
rejuvenating oneself! However, the empty swing in this painting
represents that mankind is too busy with affairs of life, that it
rarely has time to spend time in nature.

faces as the two gold fishes jump with joy.

up many!

12.? ? ?Hillside secret

13.? ? ?You and I
Painting by: S. Pallavi
>From garden to garden a butterfly wanders in search of a sweet flower.
It flutters its wings as it takes flight and its joy has no bounds
when it finally finds one. This painting expresses a butterfly?s
delight upon finding its colorful companion.
Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/257rodqe3at3ke7/You%20and%20I.JPG?dl=0

14.? ? ?Flying high
Painting by: A. Shravani
Through clouds and skies, it flies.? Its vibrant colors catches
attention of many eyes.? This painting is a representation of one?s
goals through a hot air balloon that flies high!
Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8y4o28o38uhmqxn/Flying%20high.JPG?dl=0

15.? ? ?I see hope
Painting by: A. Mounika
The empty well and an abandoned bucket represent drought stricken
land.? Yet, surviving such harshest of times, the few leaves indicate
that there is hope even in hopeless situations.? Depicting a simple
landscape, this painting encourages one to keep holding on to their
hope even in despair.
Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8o36a3j7zyklrg/I%20see%20hope.JPG?dl=0

16.? ? ?A beach house
Painting by: Y. Rama Krishna
The smell of the sand, the sound of the sea, the cold breeze of
coastal trees reminds one of a beach. It?s an added fun when all this
is experienced while staying in a beach house on a long vacation.
This painting certainly reminds one of memorable moments at a
beautiful sea coast.
Dropbox link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xc99zm1eni6j0e/A%20beach%20house.JPG?dl=0

It would be interesting to know what you all think of the artwork.? I
am planning to conduct more workshops and exhibitions in future too.
Hopefully more many others will be interested to participate in them.

With regards,
Aishwarya.
