Tactile Markers

Physical indicators such as raised dots, textured stickers, or braille labels applied to objects, appliances, and controls to make them identifiable by touch for people who are blind or have low vision. Tactile markers are commonly placed on oven dials, microwave buttons, washing machine controls, and other household items to enable independent operation. While inexpensive and widely used, they can be difficult to apply in shared living spaces and may wear off or become displaced over time.
