The name Tactonom comes from &#8216;tactile&#8217; and &#8216;autonomous&#8217;, because working independently without the help of third parties is important to us.\u00a0The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tactonom.com\/tactonom\/\">Tactonom<\/a>\u00a0is an interactive, camera-based graphic display with which any information can be displayed.\u00a0It will consist of more than 10,591 tactile points and will enable independent work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Klaus demonstrates this incredible device in action by showing how accurate the camera and tactile technology is when studying tactile maps, floor plans of buildings, large open spaces such as Churches, mathematical concepts, etc. Klaus even demonstrates Tactonom\u2019s capability for seamless descriptions of 3D printed models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To order the Tactonom Reader today and put your own content right at your fingertips, read on for contact information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To contact the&nbsp;Inventivio team, visit their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tactonom.com\/\">Website<\/a>&nbsp;or send them an email at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@inventivio.com\">info@inventivio.com<\/a>&nbsp;or give them a call at:&nbsp;+49 911 25 30 59-0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you have enjoyed this interview.
