But isn't this completely useless for the visually impaired? How would they even care about the picture shown on their screen?
This is a useless accessibility feature, if you ask me. It's over engineering.
- jtth 5y agoPhone wallpapers are social signifiers for sighted people.
- duskwuff 5y agoThat's the point. It's an Easter egg -- extravagantly detailed accessibility descriptions for UI elements that non-sighted users will rarely interact with.
- taywrobel 5y agoIf it’s something that makes someone understand and enjoy their chosen wallpaper preference better is it really useless? I guess it comes down to your personal interpretation of “usefulness”, but frankly I think you take for granted the amount of detail that you’re able to ascertain from being (presumably) fully sighted. There’s no reason that someone with any visual disability can’t appreciate a scene with as much detail and intricacy as you can, if it’s adequately conveyed to them. Words and grammar can be learned and expounded upon, but the description of a scene as “a tree on top of a hill” cannot, so why not err on the side of being overly descriptive for those that can understand, and leave the door open for those that can learn more?
