Paper Abstract:
|
There are now a growing number of mobile devices on the market. These devices are increasingly more accessible to the population, because they are getting cheaper and also for being user friendly. Nevertheless, these devices are not prepared to be used by people with certain types of disabilities, especially when it comes to visual problems. The aim of this work is to propose a model of accessibility for mobile devices to support people who have some level (full or partial) of visual impairment. In addition, the article describes scenarios where the model could be applied, and the prototype that was developed to evaluate them. Finally, we present the results obtained after executing the proposed scenarios. |
