A system enables interactive real-time refreshable tactile graphics and braille together enabling blind or visually impaired users to experience and interact with graphics and visual events live and in three dimensions. The tactile graphic display can set each pin in an array of pins to different intermediate heights, enabling users to experience topographical maps and other graphical elements such as shades and color represented as varying heights of pins. The system can simultaneously display high quality of tactile graphics and braille while allowing direct interaction with all digital media—providing real-time refreshable graphics and text in braille. The touch capability of the system enable users to point to any text on the graphic display and have it be instantly rendered in braille on the braille display, thus creating completely new paradigms for reading and creating content. The system further allows continuous monitoring of the touch data in real-time and updating the braille display with any corresponding text.
