"How the iPhone Helps the Blind"
April 17th, 2012
Notes
- #2 and #3 consists of videos to better explain the usability of the interface for the blind
- #2 and #3 refer to the same person, Tommy Edison, as a blind critic
- #2 has both a "more from" that site section as well as a "recommends"
- #1 has no videos but instead used pictured accompanied by a more in depth article to convey its point
- #1 states that the iphone was considered a nightmare in the blind society following its introduction in 2007 because of its touch screen feature that had no physical differentiation
- There are quite a few apps that have been created specifically for the blind.ex. LookTel Money Reader: an app that scans bills and tells you exactly what bill it is
- #2 and #3 were vague articles depending solely on video
- #1 surrounded its main article with other articles that were contained within the same site
- This topic is relevant to the class because it has everything to do with user usability and is a great example of how important it is. Being able to construct a mobil world for a world where even the blind can use it, literally, takes a whole other level of technique and understanding of a whole other society and their behaviors.
