长期以来，视觉数学概念对于视力有限或没有视力的人来说一直是一个挑战。鉴于函数和数据图通常以视觉方式呈现;对于视力有限或没有视力的人来说，很少有负担得起的和可访问的解决方案来解释这种格式的数据。我们开发了一种软件，利用新的负担得起的3D打印技术快速自动生成触觉可视化。在本文中，我们描述了开发的VizTouch软件，通过以用户为中心的设计过程。我们与六名视力低下或有限的人合作，以了解3D打印自定义触觉可视化的有用性及其设计。我们描述了如何使用VizTouch来实现教育、商业和娱乐领域的数据可视化。
Visual mathematical concepts have long been challenging to access for people with limited or no vision. Given that functions and data plots are typically presented visually; there are few affordable and accessible solutions for individuals with limited or no vision to interpret data in this format. We have developed software that leverages new affordable 3D printing technology to rapidly and automatically generate tactile visualizations. In this paper, we describe development of the VizTouch software through a user-centered design process. We worked with six individuals with low or limited vision to understand the usefulness of 3D printed custom tactile visualizations, and their design. We describe how VizTouch can be used to make data visualizations in education, business, and entertainment accessible.
