Text-based Tactile Graphics Generation for the Visually Impaired
Tactile graphics are a primary medium for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals to access non-textual information. However, they are difficult to scale or personalize. While recent generative models have revolutionized visual content creation, they are optimized for screen-based visual realism and fail to satisfy the haptic perceptual and physical fabrication constraints required for touch. We present the first integrated generative system that produces fabrication-ready 2.5D tactile graphics directly from natural language prompts, jointly generating global base geometry, fine-grained tactile surface textures, and standard-compliant braille within a unified 3D-printable representation.
