-----------------------------------   Invitation to Participate in Our
Accessible Data Visualization Research Study Survey



Dear members of the NFB,

Are you ready to make a significant impact on the world of accessible data
visualizations? Join us in a research study to gain insights on how you
would access visualizations and better help data curators create accessible
visualizations. This research is conducted by a diverse team of scholars at
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, consisting of Blind and
Low-vision (BLV) and sighted researchers.
  What We're Exploring:

Our research is centered around the development and enhancement of an
accessible data visualization system tailored to the needs of  BLV
individuals.



We aim to gather insights to:

   - Identify the experience most BLV individuals have with data
   visualization.
   - Understand where BLV people would require data visualization.
   - Pave the way for a more inclusive future in producing accessible data
   visualizations and data science education.

Who We're Looking For:

We invite individuals who meet the following criteria to participate in our
survey:

   - Aged 18 or older.
   - Meet the U.S. legal definition of blindness (visual acuity of not
   greater than 20/200 in the better eye with correction, or a field not
   exceeding an angle greater than 20 degrees).
   - Regularly use assistive technology like screen reader or screen
   magnification software. (E.g.  JAWS, ZoomText, Fusion, NVDA, VoiceOver,
   Magnifier, Orca, etc.)
   - Currently located in the United States

Survey Details:

   - Duration: Approximately 10 minutes.
   - Participation: Your voluntary participation is highly appreciated.

Your Privacy Matters:

Rest assured that your personal information, including your name and email,
will not be collected in our survey to protect your privacy.
