"They Aren't Built For Me": An Exploratory Study of Strategies for Measurement of Graphical Primitives in Tactile Graphics
Advancements in accessibility technologies such as low-cost swell form printers or refreshable tactile displays promise to allow blind or low-vision (BLV) people to analyze data by transforming visual representations directly to tactile representations. However, it is possible that design guidelines derived from experiments on the visual perception system may not be suited for the tactile perception system. We investigate the potential mismatch between familiar visual encodings and tactile perc…

La nuit dernière aux rencontres astronomiques du printemps : le fantôme des binos. Un exceptionnel instrument composé de deux miroirs de télescope de 600 mm de diamètre montés en binoculaire. La vision stéréo de la nébuleuse du cygne offre un relief Š tomber par terre... #Astrodon #StarParty

ArchiveGPT: A human-centered evaluation of using a vision language model for image cataloguing
The accelerating growth of photographic collections has outpaced manual cataloguing, motivating the use of vision language models (VLMs) to automate metadata generation. This study examines whether Al-generated catalogue descriptions can approximate human-written quality and how generative Al might integrate into cataloguing workflows in archival and museum collections. A VLM (InternVL2) generated catalogue descriptions for photographic prints on labelled cardboard mounts with archaeological co…
