Accessible Graphics

Visual information such as charts, diagrams, maps, and illustrations that has been made perceivable and understandable to people with visual impairments through alternative formats. These formats include tactile graphics (raised line drawings, swell paper, 3D-printed models), verbal descriptions, alt text, audio descriptions, sonification, and interactive digital representations. Creating accessible graphics requires consideration of the target audience's sensory abilities, the complexity of the information, and the appropriate level of simplification. Effective accessible graphics preserve essential information while adapting the presentation to non-visual modalities.
