ACCESSIBLE GRAPHING SCIENTIFIC INTERACTIVE CALCULATOR

描述（由申请人提供）：许多高中使用图形科学计算器来帮助学生学习数学和科学课程。这些计算器有一个内置的屏幕和显示图形和执行科学功能。这些计算器广泛用于高等数学（代数I及以上）和科学课程。它们是高中教师和学生的宝贵工具。 不幸的是，视力受损的人无法使用图形科学计算器。 视障学生对二维图形的真实的、互动的、独立的理解是未知的。该项目将增加视障人士在互动图形分析和互动科学计算研究方面的知识基础。可理解的图形科学交互计算器（AGSIC）将使用三种感觉方式来创建一个工具，以帮助视障用户独立分析一个或多个图形。这项研究是由Automated Functions Inc.他是设计和开发自适应辅助技术以帮助视障人士的专家。数学和科学领域在我们的技术世界中非常重要，视障人士需要使用“商业科学计算器”，以便他们能够在教育和商业方面取得成功。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many high schools use a graphing scientific calculator to assist students in math and science courses. These calculators have a built-in screen and displays graphs and perform scientific functions. These calculators are used widely in higher math (Algebra I and beyond) and science courses. They are a valuable tool for high school teachers and students. Unfortunately, the graphing scientific calculators are not accessible to visually impaired people. Real time, interactive, independent comprehension of two-dimensional graphs by visually impaired students is not known. This project will increase the knowledge base in interactive graph analysis and interactive scientific calculation research for visually impaired people. The Accessible Graphing Scientific Interactive Calculator (AGSIC) will use three sensory modalities to create a tool to assist the visually impaired user in independently analyzing one or many graphs. This research is being performed by Automated Functions Inc. who is expert in the design and development of adaptive aid technology to assist visually impaired people. Math and science fields are very important in our technical world, and visually impaired people need access to the "commercial scientific calculators so they can succeed in their educational and business endeavors.
