GATE - Graphics Accessible To Everyone
GATE project is aiming to achieve the following goals. First, development of utilities deployed for easy picture annotation. Second, provision of blind users with support for exploring (“viewing”) pictures. And finally, development of a system utilized for generating images by means of dialogue and enabling the blind to create some limited form of computer graphics.
