Fun for all: How some tourist attractions have made themselves more disability friendly The Museum of Ice Cream, for instance, has ramps and a wheelchair lift within its premises.

[PROJET]

🚇🧑‍🦯 François, porteur de projet malvoyant et bénévole chez My Human Kit, travaille actuellement avec Stéphane et Delphine sur la réalisation d’un plan tactile du métro de Rennes Ville et Métropole.

🏙️ Les données cartographiques sont extraites à partir de OpenStreetMap grâce à un script Python. Cela permet de créer un plan 2D contrasté au format image.

🫳 Cette image est ensuite transformée en fichier imprimable en 3D avec logiciel développé il y a plusieurs mois grâce au de de LAB4i, laboratoire d’innovation du groupe Ovalt installé à Betton (35).

🗺️ Le plan est ensuite imprimé en plusieurs plaques pour atteindre une surface totale de 40 par 50 cm.

Prochaines étapes : les différentes plaques imprimées seront fixées sur un support et les noms des stations seront ajoutés en gros caractères contrastés et en braille. Le plan sera ensuite installé dans le hall d'accueil de l’Association Valentin Haüy - AVH à Rennes.

La documentation du projet est en cours ici 👉 https://wikilab.myhumankit.org/index.php?title=Projets:Plan_tactile_m%C3%A9tro

Volunteers are also co-creators!
