Abstract
We introduce a new universal design tactile graphics production system: BPLOT2. With BPLOT2, blind persons and sighted persons can share resources and cooperatively draw tactile graphics to be utilized in braille textbooks and teaching materials. Present tactile graphics design applications have only GUI (Graphical User Interface) with the need for mouse operations and thus are not usable by blind persons. Equally inconvenient, our self-supporting tactile graphics production system for the blind, BPLOT, has only CUI (Character User Interface), so BPLOT is not popular among the sighted. Therefore, we implemented GUI on BPLOT and realized universal design on BPLOT2. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
