Touch Graphics designed and implemented a new Talking Kiosk for Boston Museum of Science's Messages Exhibit. This exhibit explores the many ways that humans communicate with one another, from speech, to codes, to sign language, to body language and facial expressions.

Many of the individual activities that make up the exhibit have special features that enhance their accessibility for people with disabilities.  The new kiosk incorporates a tactile map and a simple tactile and audio interface to help users decide what is of special interest for them, and offers way-finding information.  A special feature allows the user to request a destination and listen as the Kiosk's narrator guides his or her hand to that place on the map.
