Tactile Charts

Supporting Comprehension and Learning of Complex Visualizations
for Blind and Low Vision Individuals

Welcome! This website is designed to help blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals and educators explore complex visualizations through tactile models and comprehensive learning materials.

Currently, we have four visualization types available: UpSet Plot, Clustered Heatmap, Violin Plot, and Faceted Line Chart. For each chart type, we provide:

• Instructions: Step-by-step instructions for exploring the tactile chart
• Alt Text: Alternative text descriptions corresponding to the tactile chart
• STL Model: 3D model of the tactile chart in STL format that can be used for 3D printing
• Dataset: Dataset used in the tactile chart
