Enhancing Digital Accessibility: The DAISY Way for Inclusive Multimedia Design

The DAISY Way, spearheaded by Hiroshi Kawamura at the National Rehabilitation Center, outlines a framework for improving digital accessibility for persons with disabilities. By focusing on user profiles, including physical and cognitive abilities, this approach prioritizes the development of adaptive multimedia information systems (AMIS). With a commitment to open-source standards and local language support, the initiative emphasizes bridging the digital divide through synchronized multimedia content. This inclusive strategy promotes education, training, and knowledge sharing, empowering all individuals, including those with severe disabilities.

Adaptive Multimedia Information System (AMIS) • Skin • UNESCAP, WSIS • Plug-in • Braille, Game controler, Switch, Voice, Large font • Open Source • Local language support • Sample applications • Digital Talking Books for Print Handicapped Persons • Education/Training Materials • HIV/Disaster Prevention Tools • Publication Tools for Indigenous Languages

  5. Conclusions • Open, inter-operable and non-proprietary standard development for synchronized multimedia contents, such as DAISY in combination with adaptive modular user interface development based around established accessibility guidelines will maximize the Digital Opportunity to bridge the digital divide. • DAISY Open Source Initiative including the DAISY For All Open Source Workshop will enhance local language support including languages with no writing scripts so that every individual in the community may take part in the global sharing of the knowledge. • Intellectual properties system need to be reconsidered so that emerging multimedia global knowledge sharing system may meet the requirement of all individuals including persons with severe disabilities.
