Empathetic communication of accessibility barriers on the dynamic web to understand the accessible user experience (AUX)

Abstract

A prototype is presented with accessible and non-accessible web elements, formalized in a dynamic web context (VUE Framework). The result is a system that empathetically informs about the accessibility barriers that impact users with disabilities. The aim of the system is to display messages through the perspective of people with disabilities so that prosumer users – those who produce and consume web content – understand the need to incorporate accessibility features in their web content. It is important to consider that making a website accessible is not only about complying with the WCAG guidelines, but also about thinking about what aspects should be considered so that people with disabilities have an accessible user experience on the web (AUX).
