All
I was just wondering about the accessibility implications of kiosks with 'digital' keypads. If the usual keyboard macros can be made to work that's fine. How would vision impaired users manage though, if the screens are smooth?

Hi Kelvin,
Riverside Museum in Glasgow is using this. We have a number of large, 32" and 42" screens installed vertically, where visitors are encouraged to feedback their comments. Each open ended question requires them to use a keypad on screen.
I have attached a screen grab for you produced during the detailed design process. The keyboard moves depending were the questions are on screen.
Any questions, please give me a shout.
Thanks
Sam
