Dimensions of Accessible Design
The key to providing accessible technology solutions is understanding the cognitive, perceptual, and physical imitations of users with disabilities.
NCR applies scientifically grounded knowledge to achieve design excellence for accessible technology solutions.

Accessible Design Has Many Dimensions
Design for Cognitive Limitations
Physical Access/Hardware Design
Non-Visual Design
Design for Colorblind
3
Addressing Sensory-Motor Limitations with Assistive Technologies
Set market expectations for accessible kiosks and user interface technologies for education and information applications
A collaborative effort with industry experts led andmanaged by NCR as an advanced development program
• Accessible technology integration (hardware & software)•Touch screen•Hardware buttons for navigating without touch screen•Text to speech generation•High contrast color combinations•Text equivalents of audio
• Usable by persons with —Mobility disabilities—Prosthetic limbs—Hearing disabilities—Visual impairmentsMuseum Exhibit Kiosk
4
Understanding Low Vision and Color Deficient Disabilities
Enables NCR to choose colors and fonts that achieve aesthetic goals while promoting legibility for colorblind, low vision, and unimpaired users
Proprietary color design tool is based on recent empirical research, extensive knowledge of visual perception, and display engineering.
5
Understanding the Non-visual User Interface
Results in application solutions that workfor both blind and visually unimpaired users
Alt tags for graphical elements and proper text arrangement allow users to hear visually displayed information through text-to-speech tools
6
Increases ease of learning and use for all users.
Understanding Cognitive Disabilities
Keep application user interface simple to prevent cognitive overload and to make visual feedback obvious to the user.Avoid blink rates that can trigger seizures.
