19 persons out of 20 defined as blind or vision impaired have some residual sight. This kind of disability is one of experiencing low vision. Mobility aids like Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs) are designed to give orientation and direction to persons with low vision who rely on a luminance contrast between the TGSI truncated domes and bars to the adjacent surrounding surface.
This video details a stairway design with the application of TGSIs. The new government facility has TGSIs that provide orientation in wet weather but not in the dry. These TGSI products only work some of the time.
