Accesibilidad para personas con baja visión de los gráficos estadísticos en la prensa digital
A new set of heuristic indicators is presented for the evaluation of the accessibility of statistical charts for people with impaired vision and color vision deficiency (CVD), as well as a methodology for their application. To validate the proposal, a heuristic evaluation of the accessibility of 35 charts published in 5 Spanish and 2 international newspapers is carried out. The results show that the proposed indicators enable the detection of a g…

Visualización de la información en la democratización de los datos
Information visualization is reviewed from the communication perspective, which is considered a new formula for disseminating information to a heterogeneous audience of people not specialized in the analysis of quantitative data. The principle of storytelling is incorporated as a tool to hold the attention and direct the reading of the visualizations, and to complement the two traditional bases of the discipline: perception and interaction. The r…

Introduction of the Daisy multimedia book format, which integrates text, sound, images and video in a synchronized sequence. Daisy presents a high usability for digital reading thanks to its advanced navigation through text or audio. The article also describes DTBook, the text component of Daisy, which is a highly structured xml format ideal to create alternate format editions. The article sets out the differences between Daisy and other audioboo…
Cómo realizar tests de usabilidad con personas ciegas
Practical recommendations are offered for usability testing to meet the needs of users who are blind, including a detailed explanation of best practices in planning, implementation, and evaluation. The article concludes with critical reflections on the supposed limitations of blind users
Human–computer interaction
The author reviews the milestones of the field of human–computer interaction (HCI) from its beginnings to the current state based on three factors: vision, technology and computer use. For the current period (from 1989), the article analyzes the importance of the WWW and of ubiquitous computing, the most influential new paradigm in computing of the last twenty years. Finally, the trends that are reconfiguring post–WIMP interfaces are highlighted
