Abstract
Blind people see world through touch. However, objects are sometimes too big or too small to be observed in this way. Tactile scale 3D models are a solution to this problem. In this paper we deal with the process of creation of such models and some problems related to it. We present two solutions that assist in planning the process and estimating the time needed for its realization. The first one is a set of timed Coloured Petri net simulation models for an estimation of a total time of the process. The second one is a software tool for planning a 3D scanning job of an exterior area, which also computes the time needed for an actual scanning. An example of a tactile 3D model, created by the authors, is presented, too.
