![]() We continue to receive support from the NFB. In the summer of 2011, after establishing the technical feasibility for building these products and receiving an enthusiastic response from the NFB, Rosen and Coleman, along with their former student Josh Coffee, decided to start a company that would distribute and manufacture the sketchpad, eraser, and Printer E.A.S.Y. They also invented the world’s first eraser that allows blind people to edit their tactile drawings on the fly, and unique printer that renders tactile images by producing continuous raised lines. Rosen, Coleman, and their students designed and built prototypes for a digitizing, raised-line sketchpad for capturing and disseminating tactile images. Between 20, Rosen and his faculty colleague, Mike Coleman, a mechanical engineer and accomplished visual artist, mentored a sequence of student design teams. NFB funding continued for the next two years. Rosen saw the challenge as ideal for student projects, and NFB President Marc Maurer made the pivotal decision that NFB’s Jernigan Institute would sponsor a UVM SEED project for that academic year. Raised-line drawing tablets and sheets could be bought, but editing, saving, communicating and replicating free-hand tactile images were unrealized dreams. Maneki’s message was clear: blind people could read and write Braille, but were missing the necessary technologies to have the same sort of tactile access to drawings – and to the act of drawing. He was introduced to Al Maneki, a blind mathematician and prominent member of the National Federation of the Blind. In August of 2008, Michael Rosen, an engineering professor at the University of Vermont, was looking for project ideas for his electrical and mechanical engineering capstone course called SEED (Senior Experience in Engineering Design). Our story is a great example of what happens when a group of creative minds come together to approach a problem from all angles and multiple disciplines, ultimately generating a solution that has the potential to change thousands of lives. We work closely with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) its members and leadership give us invaluable feedback about our products, ensuring that they meet the needs of blind consumers. Our inTACT Sketchpad and Eraser serve the same purpose as a pencil and paper does for sighted people, and our technology supports the growing tactile fluency movement within the blind and visually impaired community. We firmly believe that drawing is not reserved solely for the sighted, and our mission is to bring free-hand tactile drawing into the lives of blind and visually impaired children and adults. is a Vermont-based company that produces affordable tactile drawing solutions for the blind and visually impaired.
