The National Geographic Talking Tactile Atlas of the World
The Talking Tactile Atlas of the World has been created in collaboration with the staff of National Geographic Society Maps Division, which has supplied base maps and cartographic direction to the development team. It includes 43 silk screen printed, tactile maps depicting: The World, The Solar System, continents, continental regions and five United States Regions, application software, and application guide.

(Also requires: A Talking Tactile Tablet “TTT” unit).

"The Atlas allows individuals who cannot access printed material to explore maps and learn about the geopolitical world. Users place one of the raised line, textured and color printed map sheets on the TTT, and then press on various regions and points to hear human-voice identifications of each feature."
