The Web Experience

Abstract

We developed an interactive movie to educate people who do not have impairments about how people who do have certain impairments experience the World Wide Web. We walk the viewer through the experiences of five people who are searching for information on the University of Washington's web site. We recreate color blindness, deafness, low vision, attention deficiency, and full blindness. We also provide a few suggestions for creating sites which are usable by the five people. Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 or higher is needed to run the demonstration.
