CRI: IAD - Web Accessibility Laboratory

这笔赠款将使建立一个网页无障碍实验室成为可能。 这种计算研究基础设施将使研究技术的处理网络内容的多个用户群体，包括用户与视觉障碍，移动的用户和计算机科学研究人员。特别是，该实验室将用于进行交易处理方面的研究和广泛的评估活动。 这项工作的核心是一个名为HearSay的非视觉Web浏览器，针对视力残疾的用户，该基础设施使研究的更广泛的影响成为可能，包括提供大大改进的工具，使视力障碍的人能够在万维网上执行重要任务，例如：在社会保障局完成调查，在大学图书馆预订一本书，在线支付账单和购物。

This grant will make it possible to establish a laboratory for Web accessibility. This computing research infrastructure will enable research on technologies for processing Web content for multiple user populations, including users with visual disabilities, mobile users, and computer science researchers. In particular, the laboratory will be used to perform research on transaction processing and for extensive evaluation activities. Central to this work is a non-visual Web browser called HearSay, targeted at users with visual disabilities.The broader impacts of the research made possible by this infrastructure include providing greatly improved tools to allow visually impaired people to perform important tasks on the World Wide Web, such as: completing a survey at the social security administration, reserving a book at a university library, online bill paying, and shopping.
