Hi,
A colleague is working on the following project and is seeking broad feedback/pointers to resources (way-finding tech accessibility is not something I am too familiar with myself).
Context - team is developing a series of touch screen monitors that will be stationed at different
locations around their facility. The monitors will have a way finding tool on them - to
allow individuals to search for rooms. The way finding tool will also have a mobile component that individuals who have their app will have access to.
Question is extracted here: "I wondered what our best options would
be for designing our way finding tool. We are looking to build a tool that would create a visual pathway from where they are to their destination (using arrows). What I'm wondering is whether we should build in audio for the directions (ex. to describe the
directions, approximate distance) - or whether a list view would be
more appropriate for blind folks.. Are there other way finding tools that are considered accessible to
blind / low vision users that you'd suggest?"
