Abstract
In this paper we present an approach that enables visually impaired
people to explore multivariate data through scatter plots.
Our approach combines Tangible Active Objects (TAOs) and
Interactive Sonification into a non-visual multi-modal data exploration
interface and thereby translates the visual experience of
scatter plots into the audio-haptic domain. Our system and the developed
sonification techniques are explained in this paper and a
first user study is presented.
