If space was the final frontier for Captain Kirk and the
Enterprise, digital-app experiences are the heavily explored
frontier for a host of entities. Because apps are a key link
between the public and a business, the accessibility of apps to
individuals with disabilities, especially those individuals who
are blind or have low vision, is unfortunately likely to become
the newest contested cyber battleground for claims under the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar state and
local laws.
