When Video Is Not Standard Output

Presented at The Eleventh HOPE (2016), July 23, 2016, noon (60 minutes)

In a GUI-dominated cyberspace, the blind user is prey. When a UX change can mean the difference between productivity and disenfranchisement, when an interstitial scareware alert is indistinguishable from a legitimate error dialog, and when security cannot be established because accessibility is left to the aftermarket, the frustrating onus upon a non-visual user exceeds the empowerment the sighted user takes for granted. This talk will shed light on some of these invisible "gotchas."
