Exploring Scalable Vector Graphics for Visually Impaired Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphical information is very important in common information publishing. For visually impaired users this information is usually not accessible. Scalable Vector Graphics, a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium, describes graphical information in an XML document. We propose a transformation scheme into a tactile representation for this kind of graphics. Navigation modes, filters, and the output of meta information support the exploration of the graphics. Furthermore our software environment can simulate this transformation for all sizes of tactile devices.

In this paper we present our findings of our continued investigation into the use of Scalable Vector Graphics as a genotype representation in evolutionary art. In previous work we investigated the feasibility of SVG as a genetic representation for evolutionary art, and found that the representation was very flexible, but that the potential visual output was somewhat limited by the simplicity of...
