Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents an experimental protocol for the assessment of devices and systems accessibility to be used by people with visual impairments. This protocol was adapted from an experimental protocol originally conceived for usability evaluation of products and systems at the Laboratory of Human-Machine Interfaces (LIHM) at the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), in Brazil. The adoption of a systematic approach when performing the accessibility evaluation gives the evaluation results a more reliable basis for claims as well as enabling to replicate the experiments performed. The paper presents the protocol and discusses how to employ it in the evaluation of a set of resources conceived to promote accessibility for people with visual impairments. |
