Making a Tactile Painting of the Painting "Capturing Vasil Levski at the Kakrinsko Hanche" for Blind Users

Abstract

The work is focused on 3D modeling of objects of cultural and historical heritage, using 2D sources (paintings, icons, tapestries) and 3Dprinting of models with the addition of Braille symbols in the figures and Braille annotations for tactile (by touch) object. New technologies, such as 3D printing and 3D visualization, have become more and more popular lately, because these technologies could be used by blind people to "see" works they had no idea.
