The morphological elements of design used for
designing tactile maps and symbols for visually impaired users
are points, linear, and areal elements. One of the main
characteristics of these elements is their two-dimensional and
graphic nature. However, since three-dimensional design came
to be a fourth group of elements, volumetric elements, has
come into use. The key questions of this study are: Is it possible
to extend the range of a discriminatable set of symbols by using
volumetric elements with height contrast extended in the Z
axis? Can some formal variations of these volumetric symbols
be distinguished using the sense of touch? The results of this
study show that some tactile symbols with simple volumetric
forms are easily recognizable using the sense of touch. In the
absence of further studies, this could suggest an affirmative
answer to the first research question posed [-]
