DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many high schools use a graphing scientific calculator to assist students in math and science courses. These calculators have a built-in screen and displays graphs and perform scientific functions. These calculators are used widely in higher math (Algebra I and beyond) and science courses. They are a valuable tool for high school teachers and students. Unfortunately, the graphing scientific calculators are not accessible to visually impaired people. Real time, interactive, independent comprehension of two-dimensional graphs by visually impaired students is not known. This project will increase the knowledge base in interactive graph analysis and interactive scientific calculation research for visually impaired people. The Accessible Graphing Scientific Interactive Calculator (AGSIC) will use three sensory modalities to create a tool to assist the visually impaired user in independently analyzing one or many graphs. This research is being performed by Automated Functions Inc. who is expert in the design and development of adaptive aid technology to assist visually impaired people. Math and science fields are very important in our technical world, and visually impaired people need access to the "commercial scientific calculators so they can succeed in their educational and business endeavors.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多高中使用图形科学计算器来帮助学生参加数学和科学课程。这些计算器具有内置屏幕，并显示图形并执行科学功能。这些计算器被广泛用于更高的数学（代数I及以后）和科学课程。它们是高中老师和学生的宝贵工具。 不幸的是，视觉障碍者无法使用图形科学计算器。 尚不清楚对视觉障碍学生对二维图表的实时，互动，独立的理解。该项目将在互动图分析中增加知识基础，并为视觉受损的人提供交互式科学计算研究。可访问的图形科学交互式计算器（AGSIC）将使用三种感官方式来创建一个工具来协助视觉受损的用户独立分析一个或多个图形。这项研究是由自动化功能公司进行的，他是自适应辅助技术设计和开发以帮助视力障碍人员的专家。数学和科学领域在我们的技术世界中非常重要，视力障碍的人需要使用“商业科学计算器，以便他们可以成功地进行教育和商业努力。
