Before there was reading there was seeing. People navigate the world and probe life’s meaning through visible language. Visible Language has been concerned with ideas that help define the unique role and properties of visual communication. A basic premise of the journal has been that visual design is a means of commu- nication that must be defined and explored on its own terms. This journal is devoted to enhancing people’s experience through the advancement of research and practice of visual communication.

We shall continue to use the former heading as a sub-heading for the purpose of continuity in libraries and to identify ourselves as to origin. The reason for a name change is in fact a recognition that the automatic generation of braille depends, from the point of view of optimal design, upon a consideration of the changes that eventually will occur in the braille code as a natural result of continual review by braille authorities to keep the code up-to-date.

If it were possi- ble to do so, we would arrange for them to be attractive, intelligent, ambitious, sensible, and funny—all the traits, in short, we wish we could boast and never have enough of, no matter how talented we are. Obviously our children do not grow up to exhibit all these traits, but most of them do well enough with the skills and attributes we do manage to impart to them.

  • Nemeth Code Uses Some Parts of Textbook Format but Has Some Idiosyncrasies of Its Own
    This book is a compilation of research, in “Understanding and Tracing the Problem faced by the Visually Impaired while doing Mathematics” as a Diploma project by Aarti Vashisht at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore. 6 DOTS 64 COMBINATIONS A Braille character is formed out of a combination of six dots. Including the blank space, sixty four combinations are possible using one or more of these six dots. CONTENTS Introduction 2 About Braille 32 Mathematics for the Visually Impaired 120 Learning Mathematics 168 C o n c l u s i o n 172 P e o p l e a n d P l a c e s 190 Acknowledgements INTRODUCTION This project tries to understand the nature of the problems that are faced by the visually impaired within the realm of mathematics. It is a summary of my understanding of the problems in this field that may be taken forward to guide those individuals who are concerned about this subject. My education in design has encouraged interest in this field. As a designer I have learnt to be aware of my community and its needs, to detect areas where design can reach out and assist, if not resolve, a problem. Thus began, my search, where I sought to grasp a fuller understanding of the situation by looking at the various mediums that would help better communication. During the project I realized that more often than not work happened in individual pockets which in turn would lead to regionalization of many ideas and opportunities. Data collection got repetitive, which would delay or sometimes even hinder the process.
