Yes. When considering design for visually impaired people, experts tend to
think expensive, and expensive definitely isn't universal. For instance, if
electronic devices are designed with a really good menu system, speech would
not be necessary. Different discreet beep could indicate things, and if
these could be changed in volume ... rather than having speech, as an
example. Actually, that isn't the best example as speech chips are becoming
so cheap, but the point still counts.
And take a web site. If you use the three click rule, you get nasty crowded
pages. Everybody benefits from having a page with smaller amounts of
content: it's easier to follow, quicker to download, and if well designed,
will have all the links you do want, and none of the bad ones. Graphics may
look nice, but they cost you all money as you have to stay on line longer.
