Status: Research direction
This entry is published as a research direction. It is not presented as peer-reviewed science or a completed product specification.
Accessibility is frequently bolted on. This direction treats access as a primary constraint.
We are studying patterns that remain usable when reading is hard, connectivity is intermittent, and devices are shared.
Success metrics should include who can finish a task - not only how delightful the interface looks in a demo.
