Hi everyone, Michelle and I had a conversation regarding the Pie Chat Tool development process a few days ago. She recommended breaking down the design to several phases to better facilitate the development. So, we can start by implementing the main features and if time and development resources become available, we can add the extra features to the tool. I have prepared the attached wireframes proposing 4 phases for development. Please note that these are not final and still in the exploratory phase. Thus, any feedback regarding design, required features or any other aspect of the tool is much appreciated.

I was able to play with the screen reader for the Pie Chart, however, the sonifier function did not work.It creates a trend line but it does not play it... Just a few points to consider: * When it’s reading aloud the pie chart, it gives out too much information at once including total, highest, lowest, average, median and several actions that user can take, which may not be necessary for all users. * Focus is fixed around the chart and it does not move to different sections as user tabs to different parts of the chart. This makes it difficult to expect what is going to be read next. * The trend line does not have any visual association with the pie chart. I missed it the first time it was displayed and the next time I assumed there was something wrong with my display until I realized that is supposed be a trend line.

One of the central goals of this effort is to make it easier for teachers, students, and content authors to represent data in "layers" consisting of different modalities--graphics, text, and audio. To start, we've been focusing a lot on sonification, the process of representing data using sounds. We're in the midst of a very early brainstorming, sketching and idea generation process. Our work is documented in the wiki: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Floe+Sonification+Framework http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Exploration+and+Early+Sketches http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Sonification+Sketches http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Use+Cases In order to start exploring the potential of data sonification in a way that allows us to experiment with different approaches and to iterate from mockups to working implementations reasonably quickly, we've constrained our current design sketches to tools that will help authors produce multimodal "pie charts." The goal of this tool is to enable authors to produce layered representations of fairly simple data, and to give end-users the ability to explore, remap, and share their own personalized sonifications and visualizations. As part of this process, we've been exploring some new methods for how we design sonifications strategies and evaluate their effectiveness. We've started working with a small, informal group of people in a co-design context, and will also be sharing our in-progress work here on the list. What we've done so far is to prototype several different types of sonifications using low-tech tools and then shared them with people using a process of "progressive explanation." We start by having them listen to the sonification with no additional cues or explanation, asking them to describe their impressions (including how they imagine the sounds map to some underlying data set). From there, we progressively explain more about the intentions behind sonification (such as describing the sound mapping using an "audio legend"), and continue to gather impressions and ideas from our listeners. We've found this to be a very helpful process for exploring how much textual or explanatory supporting material to provide with a given sonification approach. Sepideh has posted some great examples and prototypes in the wiki. Over the coming months, we'll expand this design effort to encompass more complex data and to more interactive situations such as simulations, games, and performances. We'll continue to share ideas, sketches, and works in progress here on the mailing list, in the #fluid-design IRC channel, and in the wiki. Constructive feedback and creative ideas are always appreciated during this early stage in the process, as well as the understanding that we're still experimenting and exploring the design space. Failures and half-baked ideas are as useful at this stage in the design process as successes.
