Vizling

Designed to make multimodal media, like comics, maps, and art, accessible for blind and low-vision readers in an equitable way, Vizling uses an intuitive user interface which combines haptics with scaffolded exploratory reading modes. Read graphic narratives using three intuitive, touch-sensitive reading modes:
• Global Narration (audio book version)
• Panel-to-Panel Narration
• Free Exploration Narration
The Vizling app was developed at Wichita State University with funding from the NEH and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Vizling was one of the winners of the Accessible Comics Design Competition sponsored by The Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability in collaboration with Comic Studies and the Program in Visual Impairments at San Francisco State University.
