I used to❤️Twitter as a place to genuinely connect & learn from others. It's not that place anymore. I uninstalled Twitter in April'22 & have decreasingly used it. Other platforms haven't worked as a replacement; hoping Bluesky will be diff. Join me here:

Chu Li is a fantastic, multi-talented PhD student seeking an internship for Summer'25. She will level-up any group that she joins. See:

One step towards this future is Chu Li's (@Chimichurrichu) new VIS'24 tool AltGeoViz, which attempts to provide interactive high-level spatial analytic summaries verbally via screenreader I/O controls.

Drawing on recent prior work in accessible visualization (e.g., from @arvindsatya1, @FrankElavsky, @domoritz, @athersharif, @ohnobackspace, & others), we are working on making geovisual analytics accessible to blind and low vision users.

These interactive spatial analytic tools are critical to informing urban planners, advocacy groups, and policy makers; however, because of their intrinsically visual nature, they are not accessible to screen reader users.

For the last decade+, my group has developed new interactive tools to advance understanding of the accessibility of the physical world for people with disabilities—projects like AccessScore, AccessVis, and Sidewalk Equity.

And @jaewook_jae will demo EARLL, an embodied and context-aware language learning application for AR glasses. Imagine touching an object & seeing its word in multiple languages.

@Daniel_C_Z will demo MobiPrint, which transforms indoor spaces into giant 3D-printable canvases via a robotic 3D printer.

@XiaSu09 will demo DIAM, a drone-based indoor scanning system that produces 3D reconstructions of indoor spaces & identifies key accessibility features, such as doors, stairs, and elevators:

So excited for the #UIST2024 Demo Session tonight. Come check out @makeabilitylab demos spanning drones, AR, and mobile fabrication. A 🧵.
