This article presents a pilot study carried out in the city of Barcelona on assistive resources applied to
an itinerary of possible interest to visually impaired people. The objective of this study was to use
qualitative research techniques to analyze the use of tactile maps, produced with 3D printing, in order
to allow people to identify and memorize routes. This analysis was carried out using an evaluation
model based on the principles of Universal Design (UD). Four visually impaired users participated in
this initial study. They tried the different mock-ups, providing an experience in response to the main
research questions: “Could 3D printing be a good technique for making tactile maps for all users,
especially visually impaired users?” and “Could a visually impaired person use a map printed with this
technique to learn a route to visit an accessible heritage site?” [-]
