Announcing WebSound:
"A generic Web sonification tool and its application to a Web browser
for blind and visually impaired computer users..."
Maybe you have heard about us during conferences like ICAD, CHI, HCI or
DL.
We are happy to announce you that a free download version of WebSound is
now available at : http://websound.unige.ch/
Introduction:
---------------
WebSound is an extended visual WWW browser for visually impaired and
blind computer users.
In conjunction with a graphic tablet or a touch sensitive screen, blind
users can perform an "audio-haptic exploration" of an HTML document in
order to
understand not only its content but also its 2D visual information (i.e
the document
layout).
WebSound is the ideal solution for:
Web browser for blind users
Non-visual navigation
HCI research
Web sonification
Advanced multimedia development
