FW: Accessible map info

Mon, May 23, 2016 1:14 PM

Hi All,

I received a request for assistance in developing an on-line map of a university campus that would be screen reader accessible. To my knowledge a visual map cannot be accessed with screen reading software. I referred them to Joe Cioffi at InTouch Graphics who makes the Click and Go tactile maps as a starting point. I also suggested that it might be useful to investigate developing a GPS app for the campus.

If any of you have ideas that might help please let me know and I'll pass them on to Rebecca below.

Thanks in advance,
Ike

Hi Ike, my campus is looking into creating some on line maps that would also be accessible to screen readers. These would be maps that would identify buildings, streets, where accessible doors are located and parking lots. Can you steer me in the right direction so I can give them something to work with?
Thanks!!!

You may want to contact Cary Supalo (cas380@gamail.com), from Independence Science. Cary is a blind chemist (Ph.D) whose focus is making STEM disciplines accessible for others who are blind or with vision loss.

David,
I am looking into this matter for you. In theory, a smartphone based
application that converts the picture into a measurement might work.
Ike (

I am contacting the company to gather more information. I hope that this helps.

I took a call this morning from a professor in Chemistry.
One of our students who is legally blind is in the class. The student

vision and perhaps thought she would be able to perform the
experiments in the lab. However, the professor said she cannot see
the readings on the graduated cylinder and cannot identify the colors
on the PH paper. I have very little knowledge of Chemistry. In the
past, we have hired an assistant for students who are blind in labs,
particularly where They work alone rather than in groups. We have
instructed the assistant perfomr the experiment only at the student's
direction and to describe what they are seeing. Our Director would
like to find another way. Is it standard practice in your offices to
hire an assistant in such cases? What other means of providing access
have you found, perhaps through assistive technology or modified equipment? Thank you.

Hi Ike, my campus is looking into creating some on line maps that would also be accessible to screen readers. These would be maps that would identify buildings, streets, where accessible doors are located and parking lots. Can you steer me in the right direction so I can give them something to work with?
Thanks!!!

You may want to contact Cary Supalo (cas380@gamail.com), from Independence Science. Cary is a blind chemist (Ph.D) whose focus is making STEM disciplines accessible for others who are blind or with vision loss.

David,
I am looking into this matter for you. In theory, a smartphone based

Ike (

I am contacting the company to gather more information. I hope that this helps.

I took a call this morning from a professor in Chemistry.
One of our students who is legally blind is in the class. The student
did not communicate with me that she was taking the lab. She has some
vision and perhaps thought she would be able to perform the
experiments in the lab. However, the professor said she cannot see
the readings on the graduated cylinder and cannot identify the colors
on the PH paper. I have very little knowledge of Chemistry. In the
past, we have hired an assistant for students who are blind in labs,
particularly where They work alone rather than in groups. We have
instructed the assistant perfomr the experiment only at the student's
direction and to describe what they are seeing. Our Director would
like to find another way. Is it standard practice in your offices to
hire an assistant in such cases? What other means of providing access
have you found, perhaps through assistive technology or modified equipment? Thank you.

Hi All,

I received a request for assistance in developing an on-line map of a university campus that would be screen reader accessible. To my knowledge a visual map cannot be accessed with screen reading software. I referred them to Joe Cioffi at InTouch Graphics who makes the Click and Go tactile maps as a starting point. I also suggested that it might be useful to investigate developing a GPS app for the campus.

If any of you have ideas that might help please let me know and I'll pass them on to Rebecca below.

Thanks in advance,

It might be worth investigating the app "BlindSquare".  I've heard that it's an excellent app...(but uses a lot of data and battery power).
(It might be similar to the ones you've already found...but it's the only GPS app that I'm aware of for blind and low vision.)

Here is the link to the website:  blindsquare.com or you can find it in the App Store.

Hi Ike, my campus is looking into creating some on line maps that would als

It might be worth investigating the app "BlindSquare". I've heard that it's an excellent app...(but uses a lot of data and battery power). (It might be similar to the ones you've already found...but it's the only GPS app that I'm aware of for blind and low vision.) Here is the link to the website: blindsquare.com or you can find it in the App Store. > On May 23, 2016, at 9:14 AM, Ike Presley <ipresley@afb.net> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I received a request for assistance in developing an on-line map of a university campus that would be screen reader accessible.

The ARIS games application and iPhone application can do this. I gave a presentation and demonstration on it at IAER in Seattle, but haven’t done much with it. It is an augmented reality game system that allows you to place GPS markers, virtual characters, and even descriptions. The game could be used to create a campus tour or just be used as a reference list. Students could also receive walk-throughs of their schedule similar to a digital O&M lesson. It is easy to program, built on google maps and last I used it had a very accessible interface on the mobile app using voiceover.

Hi All,

I received a request for assistance in developing an on-line map of a university campus that would be screen reader accessible. To my knowledge a visual map cannot be accessed with screen reading software. I referred them to Joe Cioffi at InTouch Graphics who makes the Click and Go tactile maps as a starting point.

If any of you have ideas that might help please let me know and I'll pass them on to Rebecca below.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Ike, my campus is looking into creating some on line maps that would also be accessible to screen readers. These would be maps that would identify buildings, streets, where accessible doors are located and parking lots. Can you steer me in the right direction so I can give them something to work with?
Thanks!!!

You may want to contact Cary Supalo (cas380@gamail.com), from Independence Science. Cary is a blind chemist (Ph.D) whose focus is making STEM disciplines accessible for others who are blind or with vision loss.

David,
I am looking into this matter for you. In theory, a smartphone based
application that converts the picture into a measurement might work.
Ike (
ikegps.com) has such a program that will measure walls and buildings.
I am contacting the company to gather more information. I hope that this helps.

I took a call this morning from a professor in Chemistry.
One of our students who is legally blind is in the class. The student
did not communicate with me that she was taking the lab. She has some
vision and perhaps thought she would be able to perform the
experiments in the lab. However, the professor said she cannot see
the readings on the graduated cylinder and cannot identify the colors
on the PH paper. I have very little knowledge of Chemistry. In the
past, we have hired an assistant for students who are blind in labs,
particularly where They work alone rather than in groups. We have
instructed the assistant perfomr the experiment only at the student's
direction and to describe what they are seeing. Our Director would
like to find another way. Is it standard practice in your offices to
hire an assistant in such cases? What other means of providing access
have you found, perhaps through assistive technology or modified equipment? Thank you.
