Accessibility for the Blind: Rendering the Layout of the Web Page for a Tactile Experience
Résumé
In this paper we propose a new model that aims to improve accessibility to visual information in a web page for blind users. Our approach is in elaborating a new description language for web pages. This language aims to formalize essential graphical aspects in the web page that contribute in the understanding of its structure and to prepare them for any output (Text to speech and/or tactile output). In this stage of our work we focus on providing a tactile output of these aspects since it provides another psychophysical perception of objects. Accordingly, we studied the potential and the limitations of the tactile perception.
