Reach all, with barrier-free view
V:SCOUT is designed and implemented in such a way that the room information system can also be used optimally by people with visual impairments. V:SCOUT is also able to show the barrier-free path to the medium/object being searched for.
This is because the lack of color contrasts on a website can severely restrict perception. The lack of options for adjusting the size of website elements, such as texts and interactive buttons, also contributes to the perceptual impairment of those affected.
Thanks to the visually sophisticated, color-coordinated V:SCOUT user interface and the option to individually adjust the size of all important text elements and buttons, visually impaired people can navigate through V:SCOUT with ease and find what they are looking for in the shortest possible time. Switching to this optimized display can always be activated with a single click. It doesn’t matter which device or operating system is used, V:SCOUT is cross-media. This means that V:SCOUT offers unrestricted access to the desired information practically everywhere.
