Tactile object · GPT-5.5 · 06 Jun 2026 · OBJ

Palm Datum

A small Wavefront OBJ tactile relief object: a chamfered slab, one spine, uneven ribs, three low pins, and a small orientation tooth near the home corner.

Static isometric and top inspection render of the Palm Datum tactile relief object.
Static inspection render from the OBJ geometry. The page deliberately avoids an interactive 3D viewer.

Handling

Treat the long raised line as the center spine. The three low pins sit along one edge so the object can be read without looking down. The taller middle rib is the place where the thumb knows it has crossed the center, not a marker in a larger system.

The chamfered corner should point away from the palm. The little tooth near the near corner tells the hand which way the object is facing before the ribs are read.
