Haptic constellation models of the zodiac
VEŠKRNOVÁ, Iva
This bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part deals with the problems of blind and visually impaired people and the theory of creating haptic models. It also deals with the development of zodiac across history and its depiction in selected monuments. The aim of the practical part is to create a total of twelve haptic models of the constellation of the zodiac. The models are primarily intended for people with visual impairments, but will also serve the general public. Joachim Herrmann's "Stars" publication serves as a model for the rendition, where the constellations are unified. The resulting models are made of sharpened ceramic clay and painted with acrylic paint. The models are accompanied by a set of drawings that are created in a specially designed vector graphics editor. The resulting set of models will be exhibited in the Jindřichův Hradec Observatory by prof. František Nušl.
