Hi everyone, I’m an undergraduate college student researching and developing accessible educational tools for blind and low vision students. I’m finishing up a project and just found this sub, and I was wondering if anyone here had any interest in checking out the non-visual diagram system I’ve been working on. Sorry for the self-promotion, but I was really hoping to get some feedback from others about possible uses of this system or even just about the accessibility of the website I've created for the project.

More about the project: The Multimodal Diagram System was designed to provide affordable accessible to tactile diagrams for blind and low vision students, whose educational materials are often limited in availability, expensive, bulky and uni-modal. This system enables educators to create diagrams to fit their lesson plan for free and without the need for expensive braille printers, embossers, vacuum forming machines or extensive training. While the primary audience motivating the development of this diagram display system is non-visual learners, the project has other audiences, including educators and parents as well as sighted and low vision students. The multi-model nature of this interface benefits all students, and makes it possible for students in mix-ability classrooms to use the same diagram system, thereby promoting inclusion while also enriching the lecture experience for all students.
I’d be excited to hear any feedback on the project or website, ideas for improvement, future features or different usage contexts.
