Improving user experience through inclusivity: guidelines for generating more accessible digital content for people with sensory disabilities
Abstract
In a society that is increasingly subject to technological devices, accessibility problems are becoming more perceptible every day. Those with some sensory limitations tend to be, among others, those who have more difficulties when surfing the web. It is essential to recognize the diversity of the user population and consider how design decisions can affect their experience. In this publication, we mention the different categories of existing sensory disabilities and propose a guideline of the requirements for digital media to be effectively inclusive.
