To provide a tactile information transmission system with which a visually impaired person can easily learn a feature of a solid by permitting the person to directly touch a solid image obtained by reproducing a solid shape broadcast in a program and to sense the solid as a tactile sense, for example.

The system is provided with a solid information transmission device 1 forming three-dimensional data showing the solid and transmitting three-dimensional data to a transmission path and a tactile information molding device 2 acquiring three-dimensional data showing the solid from the transmission path and molding the solid image whose tactile sense is approximated to the solid. Three-dimensional data formed in the solid information transmission device 1 arranged in a prescribed transmission place is transmitted to the tactile information molding device 2 arranged in a prescribed reception place, and the solid image based on three-dimensional data is molded in the reception place.
