Abstract
Several technology breakthroughs are needed to achieve the goals of
universal accessibility and usability. These goals are especially
challenging in the case of geo-referenced statistical data that many U.S.
government agencies supply. We present technical and user-interface design
challenges in accommodating users with low-end technology (slow network
connection and low-end machine) and users who are blind or
vision-impaired. Our solutions are presented and future work is discussed.
