[TAGS] 3D emojis

[Ann Edie]

Hi, Aishwarya and Everyone,

Have you seen this notice from NBP? I'm sure that your tactile images of emojis are much more aesthetically pleasing than the mass-produced ones in the below book from NBP, but the book may be useful as a source of tactile information for blind persons to accompany verbal descriptions, especially for some of the less-frequently-encountered emojis.
The announcement from NBP is below my signature.

Best,
Ann

Hi,

I was always curious to know how persons with visual impairment perceive Emojis.  Of course the description read by screen readers is quite useful, but I thought how would it be to create 3D emojis and have them touch it.
With this in mind, I created 6 3D emojis whose image (collage) is attached to this email and its description is given below.

All emojis  are made on 6X3 inch canvases and have black color background. The emojis  are yellow in color.
1. Smiling face with hearts. It has an up-turn smile and has 2 red hearts instead of eyes.
 2. Winking face: It has an up-turn smile and its left eye is winking 3. Face with a halo: It has an up-turn smile, 2 round eyes and there's a gold color halo  above its head.
4. Yummy face: It has 2 round eyes, but it's tongue is sticking out towards a side as if its licking its lips.
5. Tongue out: It has 2 round eyes and it's tongue is sticking out, straight down.
6. Loudly crying: It has an inverted smile, both its eyes are shut and tear drops are rolling down.

I don't remember the arrangement of these emojis in the image shared as I had taken it long back.  I had made these for my friends with visual impairment, each representing their nature. They  just loved it.
