<p>Curious about how to make rich data visualizations accessible? Doug Schepers will share some of his work on how to create equivalent data viz experiences.</p>
<p>Images, charts, and diagrams are an important part of the web, but often
hide critical information from people with disabilities of vision,
cognition, and others. But there are many ways to provide inclusive
affordances that use other senses, especially hearing and touch, to
convey complex information. This talk will explore some of the
challenges and different methods to overcome them using advanced
techniques like text equivalents, sonification, haptics and tactiles,
and more.</p>
<p>Event begins at 6:00pm; join early starting at 5:45pm for networking.</p>
