Abstract

Our DVD Player was designed based on the needs identified in our prior in situ study with blind and visually impaired individuals. In this study we identified three major issues that would significantly improve the audio-visual content with audio description «AD). Beside the regular accessible functions found in existing video player, we added three specialized functions to enhance the user experience. Thus, the player provides context information on the content, basic and an augmented quantity of AD and recall functions on key information (scene identification, actions in the scene and the actors in the scene). We propose to demonstrate the CRIM DVDPlayer and to discuss the results of our seven months usability study.
