RE: Alicia's Story - Cloud4all Use Case

Hi Laura & All,



This video is a good demo for the GPII. However, I think it was unrealistic in its ascertain that a screen reader is best for Alicia given (what I assume to be) her limited capabilities. This inspired me to add, to our user stories:

·     a new category, “Technologies”; and

·     a new use case – See https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/User_stories_-_use_cases#Technologies

Subject: Alicia's Story - Cloud4all Use Case



Hello everyone,



In case you haven't run across this video:



"...Alicia is a 70 years old pensioner living in a house for the

elderly. Additionally, she suffers some sort of visual impairment.

Even though she is willing to catch up with the current world news,

Alicia sometimes has problems due to her special needs when surfing

the web. She requires a high contrast and a big font size at least in

order to navigate easily. Nonetheless these settings are not easy to

adjust, therefore every time she uses a computer, she needs help for

that. Here is where magic happens with Cloud4all and GPII due to the

fact that only by keying-in a USB pen-drive all these adjustments are

made automatically without the need to seek external help..."

I added a link to it on our "Assistive Technologies for users with Low

Vision Wiki page:

Best Regards,
