T3 - Talking Tactile Technology

T3

The T3 is a touch sensitive, multi-sensory device which provides instant audio feedback from tactile images. This combination of sound and touch transforms the way in which people with or without disabilities can access graphical information. 

The T3 is fully inclusive and enables you to meet the needs and requirements of a wide range of disabilities. It is not a tool which is provided purely for the visually impaired but a tool to be used and enjoyed by everyone. Due to the consistency of the information supporting the T3 overlays materials it is extremely helpful for those who have Autism or Asperger’s. It is also an extremely useful tool for those with dyslexia and removes the embarrassment for people who are unable to read print.

The T3 can be used in many ways for example mainstream and specialist education, public service areas, museums, galleries, heritage venues and anywhere there is a point of interest.
