• Mobile Accessibility: Different Interface, Same Principles

  by Victor Tsaran

  With the extensive move to mobile interfaces it is not infrequent to see developers ignore the underlying principals of inclusive design. As in the 1990s poor semantic mark-up, absence of onscreen labels and misuse of HTML in general are common occurrences in mobile apps and web sites these days. It is reasonable to assume that this behavior is due to the fact that developers aren't well familiar with how users perceive the interfaces they build.

  This talk will highlight some of the most screaming accessibility issues found in many mobile applications and demonstrate how they affect user experience on popular mobile platforms.
