“Now I see how each creation is shaped up to be really fascinating!”
As their dream of barrier-free tactile experiences expands into museums worldwide, we’re getting closer to the immersive viewing environment we’ve always imagined.
“Together, let’s explore ways to enjoy our own cultural art through sound, touch, and heart.”
The video provides an overview of Dot’s efforts to create barrier-free cultural spaces through three museums. Firstly, at the National Palace Museum, there’s a tactile experience area themed “Discovering Cultural Heritage with Your Fingertips,” where both disabled and non-disabled visitors can explore digital cultural content through touch and sound. With over 250 digital tactile content types, visitors can draw cultural heritage images and confirm them using digital tactile pads. Secondly, at the Sangju Museum, there are barrier-free kiosks and interactive desks for exhibit guidance. Here, visually impaired visitors can feel the shape and characteristics of cultural heritage items with their fingertips and interactively experience drawings and text on display. Lastly, at the National Central Museum, visitors can touch tactile models of historical relics through the “Sensory Space” exhibition. Additionally, at the heart of all these spaces are Dot’s barrier-free kiosks, accessible to both disabled and non-disabled visitors, making these spaces even more inclusive.
