IMAGE Extension - Accessible Internet Graphics

IMAGE Extension is a Chrome extension created for the McGill IMAGE project. It allows people who are blind or have low vision to experience internet graphics through rich audio and touch. The extension sends graphics to a server that generates a custom audio rendering and provides spatialized audio for a immersive experience. Haptic devices can also be enabled for tactile exploration. This beta release aims to improve access to internet graphics for the visually impaired.
