Making Data Visualizations More Accessible

Graphs are a great way to visualize different types of data. But not everyone can consume them the same way - and if you add, e.g., touch interactions, not everyone can use the pointer the same way. Also, not everyone understands graphs the same way - due to prior familiarity, disability, or other reasons. And what if you can't see at all? That is another factor that adds complexity to data visualizations.

In this talk, I will share some tips and demonstrate how you can improve the accessibility of your graphs so that they work for different types of users - whether they are using assistive technologies or not. You'll get actionable advice to take to your apps and improve their accessibility immediately. You will learn about adding text alternatives for data visualization and adding alternatives for touch input.
