Abstract:

Informational graphics and data representations (e.g., charts and figures) are
critical for accessing educational content. Novel technologies, such as the multimodal
touchscreen which displays audio, haptic, and visual information, are promising for being
platforms of diverse means to access digital content. This work evaluated educational graphics rendered on a touchscreen compared to the current standard for accessing graphical content.
