Abstract
There is a need for hardcopy and transitory graphical displays for the blind. However relatively little is known about the optimum presentation of graphical information in a nonvisual form, particularly for multi-modal displays.
This paper is based on one presented by the author at the conference on Uses of Computers in Aiding the Disabled held in Haifa in 1981.
