Tactile icons are 3D physical shapes that convey meaning through touch. The HALOS library of tactile icons is a consistent set of shapes that represent common machine interactions.
HALOS stands for Home Appliance Labeling and Overlay System. These tactile icons were created based on results of our experiment, Designing Touch Surfaces For the Visually Impaired. Our website shows the HALOS tactile icon products - tangibleSurfaceResearch.com
This blog is used to showcase the HALOS library and provides background information on individual tactile icon designs. Comments are welcome!
