Dimensions of Accessible Design The key to providing accessible technology solutions is understanding the cognitive, perceptual, and physical imitations of users with disabilities. NCR applies scientifically grounded knowledge to achieve design excellence for accessible technology solutions.
Accessible Design Has Many Dimensions Design for Colorblind Physical Access/ Hardware Design Non-Visual Design Design for Cognitive Limitations
Addressing Sensory-Motor Limitations with Assistive Technologies • A collaborative effort with industry experts led and • managed by NCR as an advanced development program • Accessible technology integration (hardware & software) • Touch screen • Hardware buttons for navigating without touch screen • Text to speech generation • High contrast color combinations • Text equivalents of audio • Usable by persons with • Mobility disabilities • Prosthetic limbs • Hearing disabilities • Visual impairments Museum Exhibit Kiosk • Set market expectations for accessible kiosks and user interface technologies for education and information applications
Understanding Low Vision and Color Deficient Disabilities Proprietary color design tool is based on recent empirical research, extensive knowledge of visual perception, and display engineering. • Enables NCR to choose colors and fonts that achieve aesthetic goals while promoting legibility for colorblind, low vision, and unimpaired users
Understandingthe Non-visual User Interface Alt tags for graphical elements and proper text arrangement allow users to hear visually displayed information through text-to-speech tools Results in application solutions that work for both blind and visually unimpaired users
UnderstandingCognitive Disabilities Keep application user interface simple to prevent cognitive overload and to make visual feedback obvious to the user. Avoid blink rates that can trigger seizures. • Increases ease of learning and use for all users.
