Dear Rebecca and All,
Although not specifically aimed at the visually impaired, a pilot in application of haptic interfaces (virtual touch) by David Prytherch may be of interest, see his post at http://artandscienceoftouch.wordpress.com/projects/. His email address is included should you wish to contact David directly.
David and I would be delighted if other MCG members visit these pages and share their views, experiences and expectations of this technology.
Best wishes, Anna

Subject: Visually impaired visitors / staff
Hi all,
I am writing some articles for the September issue of Museum Practice on visually impaired visitors.
Does anyone in this group know of any interesting case studies where technology is being used to engage with this audience or of any consultants working in this area? I'm also keen to speak to visually impaired museum professionals.
Please get in touch if you have any recommendations - [log in to unmask]
Thanks - have a great weekend!
