Abstract

The inherently visual nature of Graphical User Interfaces often makes it difficult for visually impaired computer users to access graphical information. We introduce a labeling method that can be used to communicate graphical information between blind and sighted people. Our early pilot study showed that our labeling method enabled visually impaired participants to comprehend meaningful drawings. This labeling method is an extension of the Integrated Communication 2 Draw (IC2D), a drawing program for the visually impaired that uses keyboard and audio feedback.
