RantWoman notes the onset of the school year with questions of machine learning, large language models, AI and visualization everywhere, including on blindness networks.
1. Item one: a focus group aimed at an interesting demographic seeking their views of AI. RantWoman is not a member of that demographic but encouraged some people in her networks to forward to possible connections.
2. Item two: check out a pre-release version of a survey and comment on data presentation
3. The MOST ready for public check-out
The MIT Visualization Laboratory
and check out Olli
Quoting from the website:
Olli is an open-source library for converting data visualizations into accessible text structures for screen reader users. Starting with an existing visualization specification created with a supported toolkit, Olli produces a keyboard-navigable tree view with descriptions at varying levels of detail. Users can explore these structures both to get an initial overview, and to dive into the data in more detail.
Olli comes with built-in support for visualizations created in Vega, Vega-Lite, and Observable Plot. Using an adapter design pattern, Olli can be extended to support any JavaScript visualization library by implementing a function that adapts existing chart instances into a standard OlliVisSpec interface. With the adapter pattern, developers can extend support to new toolkits while re-using the Olli renderer, which implements best practices according to the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) standard.
Check out the example gallery to see how Olli can be used with different charts from various visualization libraries, use the quickstart to start making your own accessible visualizations, or contribute to the open-source project on Github
Now an important question: Will RantWoman take on seeing what Olli can do with all the graphics on the Cliff Mass Weather Blog
