Integrating the Visual and Non-Visual Worlds: Developing Dual User Interfaces

By Savidis, Anthony Stephanidis, Costantine Institute of Computer Science, Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas (Forth), Science and Technology Park of Crete, Heraklion, Crete, Greece; Proceedings of the RESNA '95 Annual Conference, Vol. 15
(Pages: 458-460) Publication Date: 1995

This article describes the design and development of a computer interface which integrates visual and non-visual information. The aim is to integrate the needs of both sighted and visually impaired users. The authors describe their system, named "Homer", which enables high level construction of dual user interfaces rather than lower level adaption of visual information for the partially sighted. Several diagrams illustrate the system parameters and organization.
