Abstract:
Many of the systems in this book exemplify negotiating a technological
barrier in order to provide access to a computer or other device. The
necessity of providing access of any kind to existing devices has often
outweighed the desire to design systems specifically for a small,
although important, group of users. For example, computer access has
been almost completely driven by the goal of overcoming more and more
technological barriers. Currently, a significant problem in computer
access is providing access to Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for
computer users who are blind.
