Study combines lithophane, 3D printing to enable individuals to ‘see’ data regardless of level of eyesight

Although the lithophane is an ancient artistic medium, it has never been used to represent scientific data and imagery in a quantitative, controlled manner for tactile visualization and tactile integration. Scientists now are using lithophane and 3D printing to turn scientific data into tactile graphics that glow with video-like resolution, enabling both blind and sighted individuals to ‘see’ the same piece of data, opening up the field of chemistry — and other life sciences — for people with blindness or low vision.
