The Australia and New Zealand Accessible Graphics Group (ANZAGG)

ANZAGG is a standing subcommittee of the Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities, Inc. We serve as a forum to share information about strategies for access to graphics for and by people who are blind or have low vision. Such strategies include (but are not limited to) tactile graphics, description, 3D printing, refreshable tactile displays, clear print enlargement, haptics, audio labels, sonification, image recognition and AI.

ANZAGG is open to anyone in Australia or New Zealand with an interest in accessible graphics – consumers, producers, teachers, disability support staff, parents, producers of print graphics, researchers and more. International associates are also welcome to attend our online meetings and work with us.
