Despite the growing efficiency of the map-design process in general, tactile mapping has remained peripheral to mainstream cartography. For a specific group of people with visual impairment, however, tactile maps are the only effective way to obtain a complex idea about the geospatial distribution of the surrounding world. As there are numerous specifics in creating these 3D maps and only a limited group of users, tactile products have usually been either very simple creations or, on the other hand, difficult and expensive to produce. Modern trends and progress in the availability of new technologies (e.g., 3D printing) bring new possibilities for keeping tactile map production both effective and up to date. Therefore, this paper aims to present a methodology to apply the TouchIt3D technology to link 3D-printed multi-material tactile maps with a mobile device. Utilizing this solution resulted in a set of interactive tactile maps following current trends of inclusive education. Using OpenStreetMap data together with a semi-automated workflow significantly lowered expenses compared to antecedent maps with similar functionality. A semi-automated workflow was designed, focusing on three use cases of independent movement: walking, using public transport, and tourism.

高效的交互式触觉地图：使用 TouchIt3D 技术和 OpenStreetMap 数据的半自动化工作流程

尽管总体上地图设计过程的效率不断提高，但触觉制图仍然是主流制图的外围。然而，对于特定的视觉障碍人群，触觉地图是获得有关周围世界地理空间分布的复杂概念的唯一有效方法。由于创建这些 3D 地图有许多细节，而且用户群有限，因此触觉产品通常要么是非常简单的创作，要么是制作起来既困难又昂贵。新技术（例如 3D 打印）可用性的现代趋势和进步为保持触觉地图生产的有效性和最新性带来了新的可能性。所以，本文旨在提出一种方法，将 TouchIt3D 技术应用于将 3D 打印的多材料触觉地图与移动设备连接起来。利用该解决方案，我们制作了一套符合当前全纳教育趋势的交互式触觉地图。与具有类似功能的先行地图相比，将 OpenStreetMap 数据与半自动化工作流程结合使用可显着降低费用。设计了一个半自动化的工作流程，重点关注独立运动的三个用例：步行、使用公共交通工具和旅游。
