Activity Diagrams Analysis for Visually Impaired Students - Student Presentation
Join us for an exciting student research presentation!
Come support and learn from students as they share their work, there will be multiple presentations happening throughout the day.
Snacks and lunch will be provided, so bring your curiosity (and your appetite)!
We’d love to see you there!
Agenda:
9:30 am - 10:00 am | Coffee & Networking
10:00 am - 10:10 am | Opening Remarks
10:10 am - 10:40 am | Activity Diagrams Analysis for Visually Impaired Students: Dolcy
10:40 am - 10:45 am | Activity Diagrams Analysis for Visually Impaired Students Q&A: Dolcy
10:45 am - 11:00 am | Snacks & Refreshments
Abstract:
Diagrams are a very important part of education,learning and un-
derstanding , allowing the transmission of complex ideas in a visual format.
However, current accessibility technologies introduce substantial limitations for
visually impaired students in accessing these materials. Traditional approaches
to fix this problem, such as audio descriptions and tactile graphics, either lack
detail or are prohibitively expensive to scale. This review will focus on the current
status of accessible diagram technologies, such as tactile graphics, 3D printing,
AI-driven recognition applications and methods proposed till now . We identify
the major technical challenges and propose an integrated approach using multi-
modal interaction by combining audio, and AI-enhanced diagram interpretation.
The approach offers equal access to STEM visual content as part of the road to
inclusive education.
