KioWare teams with Storm Interface on assistive technology

March 6, 2018

KioWare has introduced an integrated platform support for ADA compliance for Storm Interface assistive technology products, according to a press release.

"The first thing on the to-do list was to ensure out-of-the-box compatibility with Storm's field proven and lab tested system navigation devices," James Kruper, president of KioWare, said in the press release. The assistive technology products provide the tactile and audio interface required to achieve mandated accessibility for kiosk users with sensory impairment, limited dexterity or restricted reach.

"The second objective was to achieve an 'invisible join' to provide a simple, intuitive and rewarding customer experience. It was essential to make the interaction between Storm's USB connected tactile devices and the host platform as seamless and as easy as it could be," said Kruper. 

Mandated requirements for audible summaries of screen content, navigated by use of a tactile interface are often overlooked, according to the press release.
