Interactive SIGHT demo

Abstract

Interactive SIGHT is a system that is intended to provide people with visual impairments access to the kind of information graphics found in popular media (i.e., electronic newspapers or magazines). The majority of such graphics are intended to convey a message; the graphic designer chose the graphic and its design in order to make a point. Interactive SIGHT, which is implemented as a browser extension that works on simple bar charts, provides a brief high-level summary of the graphic through natural language text that is conveyed to the user as speech. The user may request further information about the graphic through a follow-up question facility which allows many follow-up responses to be generated. The demo will illustrate the system's methodology on several bar charts that have been preloaded along with some accompanying text.
