Activity Summary

At this session, a participant with low-vision interacted with visual components of the existing prototype.

Goals

To identify if the addition or deletion actions were accessible to low-vision user with ATT
To recognize visual element that enable or challenge low-vision user

Low difficulty adding or deleting actions to the sequence. However, there may be difficulty if the user has eye-wandering tendencies
User had difficulty seeing ‘plus’ signs
Preference of using voice/speech for number input for efficiency
Confusion between the plus sign at the end of the sequence chain, and the plus to add a new line of code
Preference to have actions in line with the sequence (i.e. aligns with the horizontal sequence)
Preference to increase three vertical dots
The prototype controls (arrows) were small making them difficult to navigate.

Icons (e.g. trash bin) to be bigger and bolder for greater visual contrast (e.g. black)
Provide more blank/white space between action icons
Increase Line 1 text to be bigger and bolder
Provide setting for different input options (e.g. speech)
Distinguish plus sign icons to differentiate
Allow Esc key to exit action panel
Increase the size of panel option controls (e.g. three vertical dots)
