“…Fritz and Barner [7] stated that gridlines were necessary, whereas Yu et al [40] underlined they were rather ineffective and confusing, because they relied on the user's short term memory. Speech and spatial sounds have also been used to realize such quantities [25]. Perceiving multiple lines, especially intersecting lines, is another challenge; solutions include: friction [40] and sound [39].…”

There is a growing interest into non-visual forms of data communication, not only driven by the need for accessible representations but also because researchers are realizing the potential of understanding information better or differently through other modalities. Thus, haptic visualization is an immature but exciting area; it represents the abstract realization of information through the use of tactile or force-feedback devices. Through such a realization the user can gain quantitative, qualitative or nominal understanding of some underlying data. This paper presents the growth and development of haptic visualization, shows current trends, and acts as a snapshot of history. In fact, we remember the past based on temporal landmarks: we remember what we were doing when we heard the news of 9/11. Thus it is interesting and useful to look at the subject in the context of key events and seminal work. Moreover, it helps us to not re-invent the wheel: something that is far too common with interdisciplinary work. Thus, we take a holistic approach to the literature and place the research in context of important historic events and seminal work, which shows the reader where we have been, and points towards the future.

“…Some of them reported experiences related to teaching computing topics, such as objectorientation, graphs, and the UML, to visually impaired learners [21,25,[30][31][32][33]. Other studies focused on haptic and multimodal interaction with computing diagrams for individuals with visual impairment [34][35][36][37][38][39]. Yet, other studies covered textual and audio-based interfaces to convey the content of computing diagrams to individuals with visual impairment [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

On the inclusion of learners with visual impairment in computing education programs in Brazil: practices of educators and perceptions of visually impaired learners

Background: Individuals with visual impairment face varied challenges when attending education programs in many fields and levels. In computing education programs, the frequent required use of charts, graphs, and diagrams poses additional challenges to their inclusion. In order to inform and to establish appropriate action plans for a more inclusive scenario, it is important to gather information from the parties involved. In this context, this work presents the practices of educators and the perceptions of visually impaired learners regarding such inclusion. Methods: The practice and perceptions were gathered from a survey with 56 computing educators and with 19 visually impaired learners who have attended computing education programs. Results and discussion:The results suggest educators have limited access to knowledge related to the inclusion of visually impaired learners in lectures and feel unprepared to this scenario. On the other hand, visually impaired learners do not feel included in computing education programs.

“…A detailed description of this approach is given by Sahib et al [10] where scenario-based textual narrative was tailored and used as a basis for design dialogue between a sighted designer and visually-impaired users. Other approaches that proposed alternatives to visual design tools include the use of a tactile paper prototypes, which was developed as part of the HyperBraille project [11] and lo-fi physical prototypes [12]. A workshop that ran as part of the NordiCHI conference in 2008 focused on developing guidelines for haptic lo-fi prototyping [13], many of the suggestions made during that workshop can be used as part of an accessible participatory design process.…”

We examine how auditory displays, sonification and haptic interaction design can support visually impaired sound engineers, musicians and audio production specialists access to digital audio workstation. We describe a user-centred approach that incorporates various participatory design techniques to help make the design process accessible to this population of users. We also outline the audio-haptic designs that results from this process and reflect on the benefits and challenges that we encountered when applying these techniques in the context of designing support for audio editing.
