Hi Chris, Your point about flowcharts is a very good one. There are a lot of interpolation of information which can take place from one sense, of which i tend to think we have an overload, to another which just as sensitive if not more than hearing. And these interpolations can allow the blind user to format more data in less time, productivity in short.
There are also applications i could see by, like the monochrome image example, using z-depth values of an image to give a tactile representation of objects. Since the z-depth is a technique used in 3d to render ambient occlusions and add depth :) to an image, this translates to true depth through the touchscreen. I for one would love to be able to feel what a site would be laid out like, not only through what a voice tells me my index is sitting on, but also the actual frame of it. I have always had a frustrating time figuring out how one could go about laying out a website with ease, letting my imagination go as i create the layout. This can even extend to print layouts in a production pipeline. As you mention it, this can be very useful for relational indicators, and could it somehow mean that blind users can somewhat design or interact more with graphic oriented apps? best --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
