Special Labels enable visually impaired people to feel the commodities.

Similar to the ‘Shopping guider for blind‘, the product is also designed to help the blinds identify the goods easily when they’re shopping alone. The difference is that, these special labels didn’t adopt any innovative technologies, but simply explored the drawing techniques. Therefore the blinds could feel the figures on the label to make sure what the item actually is.

Unless each graphic has a key that denotes what the item is, would not a blind person have to be educated about the graphic? For instance, if I created a circular graphic image that had some form of texture to it, and “I” decided that it would represent a ball, any kind of ball, just because a blind person could feel it, he or she would not know to recognize it as a ball, unless I also labeled it in Braille as representing a ball.
