Tactile Blocks
Changed the way the visually impaired interact with the world
Tactile blocks were invented in Japan on March 18, 1965, by Seiichi Miyake. These raised patterns on the ground help guide visually impaired people safely, especially near train stations and street crossings. Today, tactile blocks are used around the world to make public spaces more accessible.
