3D printed museum stands for visitors with sight loss wins TCT Creative Application Award

The film, theatre, art, architecture and jewellery industries all have one thing in common – they take a creative vision and turn it into a physical realisation.

TCT Creative Application Award - Sponsored by Massivit was awarded to Lancaster University alongside partners Lancaster City Museums Service and Galloways for its Touch & See Museum Stands.

This unique low-cost haptic stand allows museum visitors with sight loss to feel the lithophanes 3d surface and listen to audio descriptions to experience a version of the museum’s 2D object.
