Desenvolvimento Mobile Com Enfoque Acessível: O Design Na Mediação Da Inclusão

Abstract

The development of accessible applications is huge challenge even nowadays, despite the exponential technologies advances. Navigation problems that are faced by the visually impaired users have became more important to designers and developers each day. This article describes theoretical elements used when creating the Controle Fácil ("Easy Control"), a financial management application developed with the main goal of accessibility to visually impaired users. We describe the application's development process, prototypes with different levels of complexity and evaluation made with users, where it was possible to validate a set of requirements to applications and create a guideline to develop accessible mobile applications.
