  • Vibrations have been shown to aid in non-visual panning and zooming of information on the screen.

    “vibrations have been shown to aid in non-visual panning and zooming of information on the screen [52,54].”

    From Design Guidelines and Recommendations for Multimodal, Touchscreen-based Graphics (2020) · cites this paper as [54]

    The Experimental Stimuli and Apparatus section describes vibrations representing map features, and the Results section reports that participants used non-visual zooming and panning to learn the maps. The study tested a multimodal interface, however, and does not establish that vibration itself aided the panning and zooming operations; zoom levels were indicated by speech, while panning used a two-finger drag. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Users could accurately integrate and relate graphical elements even when those elements were presented across different zoom levels.

    “Findings also suggested that users were able to accurately integrate and relate graphical elements even when presented across zoom levels [54].”

    From Design Guidelines and Recommendations for Multimodal, Touchscreen-based Graphics (2020) · cites this paper as [54]

  • Touchscreen-based smart devices are based on commercial hardware that is inexpensive compared to specialized solutions and are estimated to already be in the hands of 70-80% of BVI cell phone users.

    “these devices are based on commercial hardware that is inexpensive compared to specialized solutions and is estimated to already be in the hands of 70–80% of BVI cell phone users (WebAIM, 2015; Palani et al., 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
