Technology Helps People who are Blind to ‘See’ Art

This is how you feel art.Here, these exhibitions show different ways to help the impaired enjoy the works on display by creating images in order to produce 3D art.“Our big focus is now using accessibility as part of our focus on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, and sometimes it being accessible means translating things into different sensory realms,so can you make something visible for people who don’t, who have hearing impairments? Can you make something touchable for people who have visual impairments?Members of the National Federation of the Blind tried out the three-dimensional images that feature raised subjects and varying textures.“Very often when we go to museums we see glass enclosures with nothing for us.There’s no, there’s no way for us to experience what our sighted counterparts experience and this kind of is an equalizer for us.”The technology was developed by 3DPhotoWorks.

这就是你如何感知艺术。在这里，这些展览展示了不同的方式以帮助身体有缺陷的人通过创造图像来欣赏展出的作品，从而产生3D艺术。“我们现在的重点是将可接近性作为我们关注多样性、公平性、包容性和可接近性的一部分，有时可接近性意味着将事物转换到不同的感官领域，那么，对于那些有听觉障碍的人，你能使某些事物变得可见吗？你能为有视力障碍的人做些可以触摸的东西吗？国家盲人联合会的成员尝试了立体图像，这些图像以凸起的绘画题材和不同的纹理为主要特征。“当我们去博物馆的时候，我们经常看到玻璃围墙，对我们来说什么都没有，我们没有办法去体验我们能看得见的同行所经历的，而这种图像对我们来说是一种平衡。”这项技术是由3DphotoWorks开发的。

“We’ve developed a technology that converts any two-dimensional image in a painting, drawing collage, photograph, satellite view to a three-dimensional tactile image.”He says people with sight enjoy the images too.“From a museum’s position, it’s growing what they call the dwell times for both the blind and the sighted. The sighted are spending more time learning about a visual than they would if it were just a photograph.” The displays include a war scene, musical art painting and a historical painting as well as a campus map. “This model I think is more reflective of even the more functionality of this tool as this technology as opposed to just art rendering because this actually has a functional use. So this one, right here I can read in Braille and, and see that it has a specific meaning, that this is a street, so the street has this texture and this button also.There’s audio representation of it as well.” For the visually impaired, the technology helps them to be part of something they could not see before.“See evolving technology really is about inclusion. It really is about making us a part of the world in which we live.”

“我们开发了一种技术，可以将油画、素描画、拼贴画、照片、卫星视图中的任何二维图像转换为三维触觉图像。”他说有视力的人也喜欢这些图像。“从博物馆的角度来看，他们称之为盲人和有视力的人的停留时间正在增加。有视力的人花更多的时间学习视觉，而仅仅是一张照片的时候他们花费的时间就少。”展览内容包括战争场面、音乐艺术绘画、历史绘画和校园地图。“我认为这个模型更能反映出这个工具的更多功能，因为这一技术实际上有一个功能性的用途，而不仅仅是艺术渲染。所以，像这个，在这里我可以读盲文，看到它有一个特定的含义，这是一条街道，所以这条街道有这个纹理，这个按钮也有。还有它的音频表示。”对于视力受损的人来说，这项技术帮助他们成为以前看不见的东西的一部分。“看到不断发展的技术真的是与包容相关。它真的是让我们成为我们生活的世界的一部分。”
