Subject: New mailing list on usability and visually impaired people


|
| As people in the usability field were preparing for 508 in the US to
| take effect, many of them were beginning to realize how little
| interaction they've had with the visual impairment world. A consequence
| of this lack of interaction is that many people who are concerned with
| visual impairment issues are unaware of how the field of usability could
| help improve the lives of individuals with visual impairements.
|
| The "Usability for Visually Impaired People" (UVIP) mailing list has
| been established to facilitate communication between people who are
| interested in usability and people who are concerned with visual
| impairment issues. Some of the goals include:
|
| Helping each group understand the other group better
|
| Identify problems and explore possible solutions based on the
knowledge,
| experience and background of each of the groups
|
| Share new information as it is discovered
|
| Explore ways to include people with visual impairments in usability
testing
|
| Discuss approaches to improve efficiency and accuracy of visually
impaired
| people when using computer interfaces
|
| Look at ways that people with visual impairments can handle
asynchronous
| interactions, e.g. multiple instant messages
