Abstract

Swell paper is one method of making tactile graphics. Its expansion heights are affected by several factors. Of them, in this study, we changed three parameters: the heat setting and the position and the size of the tactile images. The expansion heights of the tactile images with various parameters were measured by using a 3D measurement system. As the results, we found the quantitative effects of these parameters on the expansion heights of tactile images.
