For a visual impairment it is text driven with auditory output or feedback and for hearing impairment it will be text alone. The task becomes more difficult for graphic material which needs to be described to an individual who experiences a visual impairment. In this case some sub-level descriptive tags may be useful. The design requirement here is one of flexibility for broadcast or clear portrayal on the screen. Gaining access to information occurring within a conference is important.
Consideration needs to be given to a number of miscellaneous considerations.
Future Design Considerations A number of considerations relate to the overall design of an electronic kiosk-like, accessible conference program. While these factors are important they are beyond the scope of this particular presentation. Identifying the site of an electronic and accessible program will need to be determined. In the actual presentation, a prototype of an electronic program will be presented that takes the above design issues into consideration. The prototype system will use the 1998 CSUN program as the basis for creating, in an electronic format, a sample accessible program.
