Universal Tux: Accessibility for our Future Selves Spencer Hunley What IS Assistive & Accessible Technology? Assistive Technology: umbrella term covering assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities

  1. Universal Tux: Accessibility for our Future Selves Spencer Hunley

  2. What IS Assistive & Accessible Technology? ● Assistive Technology: umbrella term covering assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices for people with disabilities ● Hardware examples: refreshable braille displays, magnifiers, alternate mice and keyboards, etc. ● Software examples: screen readers, text-to- speech programs, speech-to-text programs, screen magnifiers, etc.

  3. Why Accessibility is Important Crucial to the future of desktop & mobile Linux Larger, more diversified userbase; more complete development/beta testing Usability & interface evolution

  5. Confinement Cycle ● Locating funding for proprietary AT is itself a barrier to accessibility ● Linux + Internet of Things = true independence ● Use single-board computers (SBC) to automate a person’s living space

  6. State of Accessibility on Linux Desktops (a.k.a. what works, what doesn’t)

  7. What’s Working Orca Screen Reader High Contrast Themes Vinux SONAR Linux (beta) Basic accessibility in high-profile distros

  8. What’s Not Working ● Novel programs created, briefly maintained, then...stall ● Documentation frequently out of date, lacking information ● Native accessibility can be buggy; sometimes doesn’t play well with other accessibility applications

  9. A Recipe to ‘Bake-In’ Accessibility ● ATK/AT-SPI ● Accerciser ● GNU LDTP, Dogtail for GUI testing ● Smoke testing

  10. Designing for our Future Selves ● Interfaces that age with us ● Flexible desktop environments, menus, etc. ● Seniors != computer noobs
