Dr Nick Bryan-Kinns, Reader in Interaction Design in the
School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science tells us about his latest
research into how sighted and visually impaired people use touchscreen devices
that they can’t see.
Touch-screens are increasingly ubiquitous in our lives, not
just in the smart phones and tablets that we use almost unthinkingly, but also
when we pay for our shopping at a self-service checkout, when we buy a train
ticket, and in any number of other situations.
