In this second meeting of Hackforge’s Accessibility group, we’ll be taking the prototype of Jason’s current navigation app and putting it to the test. We welcome Accessibility Communication Specialist David Best (davidbest.ca), who will be live demoing and providing feedback on existing apps.

The main focus will be on usability research for the mobile navigation app, and there is a good chance we will end up venturing outside. Please come prepared for this quest. 

If time allows, we’ll discuss the overall project plan so we can point ourselves towards the next steps and how we want to move forward. 

During the session, we will:

  • Focus on usability research for the mobile navigation app
  • David will provide demos of other navigation apps
  • Understand what users need, rather than making assumptions
  • Venture outside for testing

Who Should Attend?

  • Potential users of the app 
  • App Developers & Designers 
  • Assistive Tech Enthusiasts
