Abstract
Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for accessible computer-user scenarios. For example, a method can include displaying a graphical user interface on a display screen. The graphical user interface includes a virtual assessment, the virtual assessment is representative of an assessment examination, and the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical region that represents a portion of a logical problem of the assessment examination. The method can also include determining placement and/or alignment of an embossed screen overlay that allows a visually-disabled person to interact with the computer.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of accessible computer-user scenarios, the method comprising:
- displaying a graphical user interface on a display screen, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a virtual assessment, wherein the virtual assessment is representative of an assessment examination, and wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical region that represents a portion of a logical problem of the assessment examination;
- receiving a first signal indicative of placement of a first physical overlay onto the display screen, wherein the first physical overlay comprises an embossed inner region that includes at least one or more of:
- texture that represents edges of the graphical region, features identifiable by touch that represent edges of the graphical region, or braille embossing that describes at least a portion of the graphical region;
- determining, based on the first signal, that the first physical overlay is at least partially aligned with the graphical region;
- receiving and storing computer-user interactions between a user that physically interacts with the at least partially aligned first physical overlay and the graphical user interface;
- determining that an incorrect overlay was provided based on selection by the user of a portion of the graphical user interface that does not correspond to any components of the graphical user interface;
- responsive to determining that the incorrect overlay was provided, audibly prompting a request for confirmation that the first physical overlay corresponds to the graphical user interface;
- based on the computer-user interactions, audibly prompting for replacement of the first physical overlay with another physical overlay;
- and
- generating a portion of an assessment score based on the stored computer-user interactions.

A system of accessible computer-user scenarios, the system comprising:
- a display device configured to display a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a virtual assessment, wherein the virtual assessment is representative of an assessment examination, and wherein the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical region that represents a portion of a logical problem of the assessment examination;
- a memory with instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a processing device, coupled to the memory and to the display device, wherein the processing device is configured to access the memory and execute the instructions, and wherein the instructions, in response to execution by the processing device, cause the processing device to perform or control performance of operations comprising:
- receiving a first signal indicative of placement of a first physical overlay onto the display device, wherein the first physical overlay comprises an embossed inner region that includes at least one or more of:
- texture that represents edges of the graphical region, features identifiable by touch that represent edges of the graphical region, or braille embossing that describes at least a portion of the graphical region;
- determining, based on the first signal, that the first physical overlay is at least partially aligned with the graphical region;
- receiving and storing computer-user interactions between a user that physically interacts with the at least partially aligned first physical overlay and the graphical user interface;
- determining that an incorrect overlay was provided based on selection by the user of a portion of the graphical user interface that does not correspond to any components of the graphical user interface;
- responsive to determining that the incorrect overlay was provided, audibly prompting a request for confirmation that the first physical overlay corresponds to the graphical user interface;
- based on the computer-user interactions, audibly prompting for replacement of the first physical overlay with another physical overlay;
- and
- generating a portion of an assessment score based on the stored computer-user interactions.
