A Touch of the Universe - MOON
We have designed a tactile 3D model of the Earth’s Moon with the aim of helping blind and visually impaired people learn about the main features on the surface of the Moon.
It is not a topographical reproduction: for example, we have given relief to the crater rays
that, while being very bright, have no relevant height in reality, only because they are one
of the main visible characteristics of craters.
We used the original map of the whole Moon compiled by NASA’s Clementine mission.
The original has been greately smoothed out in order to clarify features and avoid
confusion to the users. A number of Moon features were selected and enhanced using the
GIMP software.
