AEGIS - Otevřená přístupnost všude: základ, infrastruktura, standardy

This paper presents key findings gathered during development of indoor navigation system called NaviTerier [1]. This system is targeted to visually impaired users who want to navigate independently inside large buildings like hospital, library, university, etc. System is based on structured description of environment that is provided to the user by special application installed on a smartphone.

Detail

This paper presents two developer tools created that support the process of development of accessible applications. These tools were created within AEGIS Project. The first tool is targeted to developers not experienced in the field of accessibility and helps them with orientation in the variety of user disabilities. It makes easier the process of prioritization of existing accessibility guidelines in a way that suits the given target group and the application developed. The second tool provides direct support for accessible rich internet applications (ARIA) development. It is a plugin for NetBeans IDE and it offers palettes of accessible UI components that can be used to build the accessible application.

This paper deals with the problem of efficient and correct implementation of Accessible Rich Internet Application (ARIA) recommendation into user interface component during rich internet application development process. A new methodology is presented, which is based on testing the accessibility on real-life web applications with help of experienced blind users. Three Web Toolkits were evaluated by this method and serious accessibility issues were found. This new approach was then used to implement ARIArecommendation into one open source Web Toolkit
