Haptic Data Visualization (HDV) is a novel application of haptics. It
provides functionality by which users touch and feel data, making it a useful
tool for users with vision impairments. However, creating such visualizations
usually requires programming knowledge, that support workers and tutors of
blind users may not possess. To address this issue we propose a formalized
process for creating HDVs using the HITPROTO [5] toolkit, which requires no
programming experience. We further illustrate this process using an example
HDV.
