Traditional approaches\nto fi x this problem\, such as audio descriptions and tactile graphics\, either lack\ndetail or are prohibitively expensive to scale. This review will foc us on the current\nstatus of accessible diagram technologies\, such as tac tile graphics\, 3D printing\,\nAI-driven recognition applications and meth ods proposed till now . We identify\nthe major technical challenges and pr opose an integrated approach using multi-\nmodal interaction by combining audio\, and AI-enhanced diagram interpretation.\nThe approach offers equal access to STEM visual content as part of the road to\ninclusive education .\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Dolcy Sareen\n\nRoom: 130\, Bldg: C\, 1000 K.
