We'd also love to get your feedback and how to make things more
visually impaired friend
Wow. Thank you for such a positive response!
So to motivate some people playing with GUI and fonts, could you
give us some feedback what you hate/dislike on normal phones
On my current phone the text is too small (so i can't read sms etc)
and the ui customisation that you can do with 'themes' does not allow
me to have a good high contrast (white on black, yellow on blue) ui :-
( The 'simplest' solutions to this are 'best practises' like respect
os/ system colours and designing/ implementing flexible ui layouts.
But you are right that there are also opportunities for 'cool'
accessibility: off the top of my head i can imagine that the 'speed
reading' technique of displaying individual letters sequentially
might give a very accessible (and fast!) way to read smss. It'd be
great to implement this and see how it flies!
Are you impaired yourself? Or does you work with impaired people?
Will you like to join OpenMoko development?
Yes, I am visually impaired myself, and I am a developer. And right
now I need a new phone, and one that I can use ;-) So, yes, I'm very
interested in developing for OpenMoko!
