Astroaccesible is an outreach project hosted by the Instituto de
Astrof'{i}sica de Andaluc'{i}a – CSIC aimed at the teaching and
popularisation of the astronomy among all publics independently of their
capabilities and abilities, paying special attention to the collective of blind
and visually impaired (BVI). Among the different strategies and resources using
in our project, we have developed new 3D models representing in relief some of
the stars, constellations and deep sky objects that can be observed during
night from the Northern hemisphere in spring and summer. These models can be
used by BVI to transmit to them the spatial configuration of the sky during
night, but can be also used as an additional resource for all kind of publics
to complement their sensorial experience. We also describe additional resources
based on sounds that can also be employed to get deeper into this
multisensorial experience. Finally, we summarize some of the activities and the
context in which this new material has been used in the last 2 years.
