A Glyph-based Multimodal Presentation of Multivariate Data

Published: 12 November 2019 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes the feasibility of glyph-based presentations of multivariate data in a multimodal virtual environment (VE). In a multimodal VE, variables are represented as haptic glyphs of different shapes and sizes; data becomes tangible along with its visual representation. Audio feedback helps further exploration of the data. This glyph-based multimodal presentation makes information available to the blind and visually impaired (VI) in a semantic-aware environment. A multimodal VE also enriches the experience of the sighted users.
