Hong Kong Disability Park Map Installation

Recently on a trip to Hong Kong and Kowloon, in China, I noticed some of their disability installations. One is shown in the photo on the right. This is a map of a Kowloon city park with braille and conventional lettering. But even more interesting is the tactile map (floor plan) on the left. The elements they have described in the printed information on the right is then built into the map on the left and raised up to indicate what the element might be. Very clever and useful. Have you ever seen something like this in the US? The photo below shows a closeup of the lettering and map.
