Hi!

We are working on a project which involves OSM-based rendering of tactile maps. We restricted ourselves to a very small set of textures and we intentionally do not add any symbols or braille signs to the maps. Single rendered images can be requested via HTTP as long as you know the coordinates. This is the low level service, so to speak. A student just started to design a browser-based interface for sighted people, which should support the selection and print process for paper based media.

We are currently migrating to a new server (we started to experiment with the OSM world file), so the service isn't publicly available at the moment. But some informations about the project are available here (the firsts posts were in German, but we are slowly switching to English…): http://igw.tuwien.ac.at/ceat/node/7

regards,
Armin
