Blindness and Low Vision Discussion Group
The objective of the Blindness and Low Vision Discussion Group (BLVDG) is to identify the needs and preferred access features of people with various types of vision problems. This group will work in conjunction with the Access Features MasterList group to determine necessary features to transform web content into a form that is usable with minimal vision or with no vision at all.
One deliverable from this group will be a list of potential solutions and an analysis of their relative usefulness to people with different vision issues and severity. This group will communicate with software exploration, research, and development projects to experiment with new technologies and methods.
Research will study the requirements for traditional screen readers and magnifiers, while also exploring state-of-the-art innovations that may prove to be more effective. Possible areas of discussion include haptic feedback and auditory-only interfaces.
