For people who are blind or have low vision, moving around in public places can be difficult and sometimes unsafe. They may struggle to cross roads, find entrances, or understand where a path leads. At Eminent Tactiles, we believe that it is our duty to make the world easier and safer for everyone, especially for those who rely on touch, sound, and memory to find their way.
That’s why we provide complete tactile solutions to help improve mobility and safety for the visually impaired. Our wide range of tactile indicators is designed to guide, warn, and protect people in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Tactile indicators, also known as Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSI), are special ground markings with raised bumps or ridges. They help blind or visually impaired individuals understand their surroundings through touch.
These indicators are usually installed on the ground in public areas such as:
Tactile indicators send a message through the feet or a walking cane, letting the user know when to stop, turn, or move ahead carefully.
There are two main types of tactile indicators:
People who are blind or visually impaired use many tools to help them get around. These include white canes, guide dogs, or even human companions. But they still face challenges, especially in new places or crowded areas.
Without clear tactile clues on the ground, it’s easy to become disoriented. People may not know where stairs begin, where the footpath ends, or whether they’re approaching a crossing. This can be dangerous.
That’s where tactile ground surface indicators (TGSI) make a huge difference. They give users the confidence to move around safely on their own. They help people become more independent and improve their quality of life.
