Researchers have developed CANVAS, an AI system designed to generate detailed, multi-sensory descriptions and synchronized audio narrations for visual artworks. This automated workflow aims to make art more accessible to blind and low-vision audiences by providing richer captions than traditional alt-text. Initial evaluations show that CANVAS produces descriptions with greater lexical diversity and narrative detail, and can process an artwork in under 20 seconds at a low cost. AI
