Perhaps building an app that synchronizes conference slides to a phone and allows users to customize the contrast/appearance of the slides would help in this case?
- zwayhowder 7y agoI love that idea. It would let people requiring different contrasts etc see the content too. It won't help with pictures as easily, though a few apps these days do full PDF renders in different colours without much hassle. I am definitely in the no black background white text camp and on the web I have a javascript bookmarklet to zap the colour CSS and make everything rather plain looking. It's not all text for me, but particularly dense text is unreadable, even with my glasses on.
