Abstract
Blind and low-vision (BLV) people experience difficulty accessing graphical information, particularly regarding travel and education. Tactile diagrams and 3D printed models can improve access to graphical information for BLV people; however, these formats only allow limited detailed and contextual information. Interactive 3D printed models (I3Ms) exist, but many rely on passive audio labels that don't particularly empower BLV people in independent knowledge building and interpretation. This project investigates the creation of I3Ms that offer more engaging experiences with a focus on facilitating independent exploration and knowledge discovery. Specifically, this project explores how BLV people want to interact with I3Ms, interactive functionalities and behaviours that I3Ms should support, such as conversational interfaces and model agency, and to understand the relationship between I3Ms and conventional accessible graphics.
