Hi all,

Our IT group is working with one of our museums to rebuild some displays. The displays might use something like IntuiFace for content design, and would need a mouse/keyboard/trackball or similar controller. Other considerations might include earbud jacks for blind/low-vision users, table height for people using motorized conveyances, etc.

Right now, we're mainly interested in control mechanisms. Has anyone taken part in a project like this? All insights welcome.

Thanks,
Todd

Greetings:

If I am tracking correctly, this question was cross-posted to the
ATHEN email list.
In case others on this list are interested in the responses from there,
I've attempted to compile the resources, as links below my name.

If anyone notices any I forgot, please add.

I'll also include a resource of my own and cross-post it to the ATHEN list.

Best,
Jennifer

An additional resource, for those interested in Museum and Arts access,
generally, is the Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability. There is a
yearly conference, and I think there may be an email list:
