Abstract for the International Conference on Tactile Diagrams Maps and Pictures 2002

RAF Models & Displays

Rebecca Fuller

RAF Models & Displays, United States

RAF Models & Displays is a leader in the United States in the field of the Design and Fabrication of Tactile Exhibits used in Museums, State Parks and Visitor Centers. We are also involved in establishing guidelines and specifications for Tactile Exhibits.

We will be presenting a paper illustrating the variety of tactile maps and models which can be used to provide Interpretation, Orientation and/or Comparisons.

Photos showing a wide range of completed projects, including raised graphic maps and realistic topographical tactile models, will be shown. A brief overview of fabrication techniques and a discussion of several different materials, and their various attributes, such as durability and relative cost, will be included.
