    Enhancing the Accessibility of Images on the Web: A Holistic View and New Perspectives

    49th PATTAYA International Conference on “Science, Engineering, Technology & Healthcare” (PSETH-23), Tech Rep, 2023

    Résumé

    None of the available web specifications consider images as purely visual elements. However, their online accessibility remains challenging. This issue has taken on an entirely new dimension with the evolution of mobile technology. Nowadays, most Internet users use mobile phones equipped with an increasing number of cameras. Obviously, this has helped democratize access to the web. However, it has made images the major medium of communication, and thus it has increased the challenge of image accessibility for people with disabilities. In light of the above, we present a holistic view of the accessibility of images for use on the internet. Precisely, we seek to provide an overview of the various accessibility strategies while highlighting an implementation gap that research has attempted to address. In addition, we discuss new research perspectives that can lead to the design of a new alternative to the image. Soon, it may be possible to supplement the ALT text with non-speech sound alternatives or even tactile alternatives.

    Toward an Inclusive Digital Information Access: Full Keyboard Access & Direct Navigation

    Alexandrov, D., Boukhanovsky, A., Chugunov, A., Kabanov, Y., Koltsova, O. (eds) Digital Transformation and Global Society. DTGS 2018. Communications in Computer and Information Science, vol 859. Springer, Cham., 2018

    Résumé

    The laws prohibit the discrimination of people with special needs. Accessibility has become a legal obligation for the State, which must ensure equal opportunities for access to services and knowledge. Many people have difficulty in accessing graphical interfaces or controlling the mouse. To promote a high degree of web usability, w3c guidelines emphasize the need to allow the user to interact with web pages not only through a pointing device, but through the keyboard as well. Among their appearance, access keys implementations were criticized. This article gives an overview about access keys drawbacks and presents perspectives on how to support web app interaction through a keyboard.

    KeybNav: a new system for web navigation through a keyboard

    2017 6th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA), IEEE, 2017

    Résumé

    Accessibility guidelines emphasize the need to allow the user to interact with web pages not only through a pointing device, but through the keyboard as well. The specification of HTML4 came with the access keys but they have resulted in an unexpected failure. This paper proposes a new system which deters conflicts between web page access keys and keyboard shortcuts used by various OS applications.

    User modeling and Web-based customazation techniques: An examination of the published literature

    2011 4th International Conference on Logistics, 2011

    Résumé

    This paper proposes a state of the art of the user modeling and interfaces customization techniques. It presents and discusses techniques intended to be used by application's designers and also end-user based techniques. It specifies the characteristics modeled in these systems as well as the used technologies.
