The Tactile Colour System enables visually impaired people including thousands who are not registered blind to interpret coloured information by touch.

The idea was initiated by Lois Lawrie, a printer who lost her sight.

Teachers, printers,artists and users of varying visual ability have contributed to the refinement of the system over the past 6 years.

National and international charities and research institutions have assisited with field testing and feasibility potential .
