Onderwerp: [komplete-kontrol-access] "Accessible Interaction: Investigating
Software Instruments for the Visually Impaired"
Hello All,
We have been connected via Native Instruments to a University student who for
their final year project is seeking assistance from the Blind & Visually
Impaired music community.
Details of the project and requirements are outlined below, so if you feel you
can contribute or wish to pass this on to others who may be interested please
do so.
It sounds like this could be a good opportunity to have some of our views and
requirements heard by industry developers, as well as perhaps shaping some of
the design ideas of a future generation.
There is a contact email at the end of the post.
"Accessible Interaction: Investigating Software Instruments for the Visually
Impaired"
Overview of the project
An investigation has been proposed into the current state of music software
accessibility for the visually impaired (VI). Through, surveys completed by
music technology companies and interviews with members of the VI community.
Primary research data will be gathered to provide insight into the current
limitations that VI users face with music software, and if accessibility
features implemented are as useful as intended.
This will then be collated with secondary sources in the field of ADMI to
purpose a specification and develop a proto-typed software instrument; tailored
to highlight the needs of the VI community.
Through product testing with members of the VI community; limitations with the
product will be highlighted to outline the accessibility needed within Music
Software.
Involvement from visually impaired participants will be in two forms, in
interviews and as a product tester. The instrument will be synthesis based and
programmed in MAX MSP, then converted to c++ and used within a Juce project. It
will be made available as a VST3 file for testing, and I'm open to working for
both MAC and PC.
Requirements are to be partial or severely visually impaired, and use music
software to any extent.
I’d really appreciate all any help at this time
Please contact me at the following email address to express your interest:

Kind regards,
Kristian McGurran
