Canon Exhibition Offers Tactile Photography Experience for Visually Impaired Students

SUMMARY

Canon has collaborated with the Royal Society for Blind Children (RSBC) to host a private exhibition at RSBC Dorton College in England. The exhibition features portraits created by students during a Canon workshop, printed with raised, tactile ink using Canon's Prisma Elevate XL software and Arizona series printers. This technology allows visually impaired individuals to explore images through touch, offering a new way to connect with creativity and their own artwork. The display is permanent and aims to be the start of more accessible exhibitions for visually impaired people.
