A cutting-edge assistive desktop reader underwhelmed vendors and confused low-vision users
A video reveals a device monitor displaying an interface with groups of icons and text in a three-column grid (Save, Add pages, Files, Languages, View, Capture), and a dark navigation bar below (back, "Main Menu," forward (disabled), Exit). Then, a concept slide labeled “Sage, concept 3” describes rounded corners, dark blue-green gradients, and thick-stroked cream-colored icons and text. Next, a close-up shows a live camera feed of a book, overlaid with the interface’s menu bar, which activated a magnifying glass "Zoom" icon to enlarge the book's image. Finally, a simple device monitor screen appears, displaying: "Header: Question? Paragraph: Describe consequence. Button: Way out. Button: Decision."
A video describes UI/UX feedback: 1: Basic and Advanced, 2: Affordance (accompanied by an indicator arrow along the edge of a menu element), 3: Brand colors (showing a bright orange and light blue icon), 4: Labels, crossed-out. 3 color pairs are described (orange-blue, green-dark blue, and yellow-blue). The color pairs are applied to interface scroll bars, which, because of their low contrast, make them impossible to distinguish for sighted users.
