Review of Technology to Access Infographics for Visually Impaired

Abstract

Providing diagram accessibility to visually impaired is a challenging problem in the field of computer vision. Innovations in technology has brought noticeable change in the representation of data in variety of graphical formats and has special impact in visual communication. Unfortunately, technological solutions have not become rich enough to reach to visually impaired and the complexity of diagram accessibility remain as a challenging problem in the field of computer vision. Visually impaired face various challenges to access visual contents including information graphics(infographics). With assistive technologies, attempts have been made to access knowledge present inside infographics upto a certain level with its pros and cons. This paper outlines the challenges to access infographs by visually impaired and reviews tactile, non-speech, speech and hybrid technology based solutions available to make infographs accessible. The paper also includes suggestions to create accessible infographs.
