商品描述

Data visualizations are increasingly used to communicate essential insights. However, these visualizations are inaccessible to screen-reader users, further exacerbating the digital divide. Evidence shows that creators have minimal knowledge about accessibility. To address these concerns, this book provides foundational and cutting-edge knowledge about visualization accessibility.

Starting with a brief history of data visualizations and shedding light on the disenfranchisement caused by their inaccessibility, the author presents a detailed overview of the modalities used for visualization accessibility, highlighting their advantages and shortcomings. In addition, the book delves into various interaction mechanisms, exploring user agency and closing with future avenues to make visualizations equitably accessible.

Overall, Exploring Data Visualization Accessibility enables students, researchers, and practitioners to learn more about this topic and employ best practices in creating visualizations that can benefit all.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

數據視覺化越來越多地被用來傳達重要的見解。然而,這些視覺化對於使用螢幕閱讀器的用戶來說是無法訪問的,進一步加劇了數位鴻溝。證據顯示,創作者對於可及性知識的了解非常有限。為了解決這些問題,本書提供了有關視覺化可及性的基礎和前沿知識。

本書從數據視覺化的簡要歷史開始,並闡明了其無法訪問所造成的剝奪感,作者詳細概述了用於視覺化可及性的各種方式,突顯其優勢和缺點。此外,本書深入探討了各種互動機制,探索用戶的主動性,並以未來使視覺化公平可及的途徑作結。

總體而言,探索數據視覺化可及性使學生、研究人員和實踐者能夠更深入了解這一主題,並在創建能夠惠及所有人的視覺化時採用最佳實踐。
