ProBlind
GERMANY
About us:
We are a Non profit association, database for education providing free tactile learning materials in 2D and 3D format
The aim of ProBlind is to overcome barriers in education.
By providing and sharing tactile learning materials in the form of tactile graphics and 3D models free of charge, we want to contribute to equal opportunities in education.
Since ProBlind e. V. is an authorized body according to § 45c para.3 UrhG (Marrakesh Treaty) we are authorized to share IP-protected content with the blind community.
Currently there are approx. 2500 graphics available and almost 1800 more are in the pipeline for testing before being published. Anybody can upload graphics. Each graphic can be cloned and adapted to personal needs. This adaptation is accessible so that people with blindness can adapt the content themselves. In addition, the content can automatically be translated into 27 languages using AI. Thereby, any learning content will automatically benefit blind people across the world. All graphics and 3D-Model files can be downloaded for free.
We work closely together with different schools and universities on Erasmus+ projects. Thanks to those projects we’ve been able to create 1250 tactile math graphics for all ages that will be released in August 2025. Over the next two years, 600 biology graphics and 100 3D models will be gradually added to the database.
The ProBlind database can be the backbone for future projects because it has the following advantages:
- Non-Progit organization
- Agreed Body’ under the Marrkesh Treaty
- Free of charge for the users
- Contains thousands of learning materials for people with blindness today
- Supports 2D and 3D learning materials
- For tactile and audio-tactile learning content
- Automatic translation of content into 27 languages using AI
- Users may upload, clone, adapt and share their own content
- Database accessible for blind people
- Highly advanced cooperation and adaptation features
