The DIAGRAM Center

  • Digital Image and Graphics

Resources for Accessible Materials

  • Make it easier, cheaper, and

faster to create and use accessible digital images

  • Free open source tools

globally

  • Partnership: Benetech,

NCAM at WGBH, US Fund for DAISY

When Words Are Not Enough

  • Tactile graphics are tactile representations of graphics
  • Often needed for…

– Charts – Diagrams and schematics – Maps

  • Subjects most likely

– STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) – Geography

Sample Image: Heart & Lungs

  • Image description:

provides basic accessibility to an image

  • Tactile Graphic (2D):

provides more information about spatial and physical relationships

3D Printing:Tactile Graphics Revolution?

  • Increasing prevalence of

printers + appeal of universal design

  • Challenges: access to files,

printers, expertise

  • Webinar on 3D:

Making Math Accessible

MathML Cloud

See

“(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=-10”

Hear

“start frac y sub 2 minus y sub 1 over x sub 2 minus x sub 1 end frac equals minus 10”

Input: Outputs:

Sonification

  • Uses non-speech audio

to convey information and help perceptualize data

  • MathTrax: application

created by NASA that provides sonification for mathematical graphs
