Equations in such documents consist of text interlaced with lines and other graphical elements and cannot be interpreted using a screen reader. We present a browsing approach for print-disabled readers specifically aimed at such mathematical content. This approach draws on the navigational mechanisms often used to explore the virtual worlds of text adventure games with audio-visual sensory substitution for graphical content. The relative spatial placement of the elements of an equation are represented as a virtual world so the reader can navigate between elements. Text elements are announced conventionally using synthesised speech, while graphical elements, such as roots and fraction lines, are rendered using a modification of the vOICe algorithm. The virtual world allows the reader to interactively discover the spatial structure of the equation, while the rendition of graphical elements as sound allows the shape and identity of elements that cannot be synthesised as speech to be discovered and recognised. The browsing approach was evaluated by 11 blind and 14 sighted participants in a user trial that included identifying twelve equations extracted from PDF documents. Overall, equations were identified completely correctly in 78% of cases (74% and 83%, respectively, for blind and sighted subjects). If partial correctness is considered, then the performance is substantially higher. Feedback from the blind subjects indicated that the technique allows spatial information and graphical detail to be discovered. We conclude that the integration of a spatial model represented as a virtual world in conjunction with audio-visual sensory substitution for non-textual elements can be an effective way for blind and visually impaired readers to read currently inaccessible mathematical content in PDF documents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3584365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,17]],"date-time":"2023-02-17T11:57:25Z","timestamp":1676635045000},"page":"1-27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Mathematical Content Browsing for Print-disabled Readers Based on Virtual-world Exploration and Audio-visual Sensory Substitution"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2455-8589","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rynhardt","family":"Kruger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa and Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Brummeria, Pretoria, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3495-9802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Febe","family":"De Wet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7341-1017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Niesler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","first-page":"247","article-title":"EyeMusic: Introducing a \u201cvisual\u201d colorful experience for the blind using auditory sensory substitution","volume":"32","author":"Abboud Sami","year":"2014","unstructured":"Sami Abboud, Shlomi Hanassy, Shelly Levy-Tzedek, Shachar Maidenbaum, and Amir Amedi. 2014.
