摘要本文报告了一项国际调查的结果，该调查收集了全球触觉地图生产者、设计师和研究人员的生产方法、技术、输出和设计偏好的数据。确定了一些不一致和不一致之处，我们推测在何种程度上，目前的触觉地图生产状态可能会满足客户人口的需求。我们描述了报告所依据的样本，地图制作数量的产出，生产方法的选择，地图绘制的环境类型和地图的预期用途。我们还关注地图设计的问题，如地图尺寸和格式的选择，以及符号的选择。
Abstract This paper reports the findings of an international survey that collected data on production methods, techniques, outputs and design preferences among tactile map producers, designers and researchers worldwide. A number of consistencies and inconsistencies are identified and we speculate on the extent to which the current state of tactile map production is likely to meet the needs of the client population. We describe the sample on which the report is based, the output in terms of quantity of maps produced, choice of production method, types of environment mapped and intended uses of maps. We also focus on issues of map design, such as the choice of map size and format, and choice of symbols.
