Somewhat fatuous question, are the pix in Playboy considered significant given that that's what the mag is known for?
Actual serious question to miki123211, if it were technically possible to do so, perhaps by contoured impressions, couldn't pictures be reproduced as to an extent useful to those who only touch? Could a tree be reproduced to show the root knot, the trunk growing out of it, and the division into branches? If close up the outline of leaves and the veins within? Either with smooth curves or dots much smaller than braille.
Having written that I can appreciate the technical challenges, but in theory...? And if possible, would it be useful and appreciated by braille users?
- sagebird 7y agoWhen I was helping to translate Playboy articles into Braille (around 2010) I only ever translated articles that generally had nothing to do with sex. The articles are not too much different than you would find in a normal mag. I don’t think they were trying to translate the porn part. They have limited resources so they have to make value decisions on where to spend their effort.
- miki123211 7y agono, not in that detail. A general outline of a tree (to represent tree-like relationships) would work, though I don't think a picture would be useful in that situation. For school, geometry and so on, touchable pictures exist and are useful, though. That's one of the few areas where a graphical representation surpasses a textual description.
