Main Menu 30 Nov 2018 tactile icons, labeling exercise equipment


What the heck is this dot for? How many times have you asked yourself that when looking at your microwave, dishwasher or dryer? Sure, you labeled it but now how to remember what all those buttons actually do. This week we talk with Anne DeWitt of Tangible Surface Research, http://www.tangiblesurfaceresearch.com about her line of tactile icons to represent those common functions, and some uncommon ones too. Anne is also doing some groundbreaking research into labeling exercise equipment so we can work off all the pounds we gain after using our accessible microwaves and ovens.
