As a former staff photographer for LIFE Magazine, John’s livelihood involved creating and distributing imagery. An invitation from the National Federation of the Blind led to a decade-long partnership with leaders and members of the organization. This partnership made him keenly aware of the need and desire for accessible imagery, instilling in him the belief that for those without sight, access to tactile images represents a means to greater freedom, independence, and equality.

At Tactile Images, we fulfill our promise using our patented technology that integrates sensory stimulants through 3D, tactile renderings of images to deliver visual information to the brain through an enhanced, completely accessible, kinesthetic experience.
