[BlindMath] What to do for graphs in university courses?

[Louis Maher]

Hello Mohamed,

Here are some thoughts about how to handle graphics when you are blind.

The Sensational Blackboard is a simple way to produce accessible hand drawings for the blind 
"http://sensationalbooks.com/products.html".

SAS has sonification tools for graphics 
----- 
Here is information on the SAS Graphics Accelerator
"https://www.sas.com/accessibility".

It can take data, including .xlsx formatted data, and turn it into graphics which can be studied using sonification.  As you go to increasing x, a tone rises and lowers depending on the Y-value of the data.

Here is a seminar on the technology
"https://support.sas.com/accessibility/webinars/2020-3/index.html".

The recording for Creating Accessible Maps Using SAS Graphics Accelerator and Google Maps is now available on this page:
https://support.sas.com/accessibility/webinars/2020-4/index.html

The project contact is:
ed.summers at sas.com
--- 

There are also Braille embossers that have graphical capabilities

Lastly, there is the Graphiti interactive graphics display ($15,000) 
"https://www.orbitresearch.com/".

Hi,

Hope my mail finds you well,

I would like to pursue an MSc in computer science in university either in Europe or Canada. I wonder what options do I have regarding reading papers that have graph and math content. 

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

Regards,

Mohamed E. Fayed
