Asian Civilisations Museum Touch: A Tactile Experience for Persons with Visual Impairment

Abstract

This study explores the Asian Civilisations Museum Singapore’s comprehensive tour for visually impaired (VI) visitors, which provides a facilitated tactile experience using 3D-printed versions of objects displayed in the galleries. This programme focuses on the sense of touch and uses conversations as a method of eliciting responses from participants. The programme is evaluated and continually improved by gathering qualitative responses from the VI community, making further adjustments, and seeing feedback again.
