Abstract

End users with disabilities face many limitations with online accessibility. Efforts to tackle the problems of testing for these problems have not yet been sufficient. In this paper we describe an evaluation of Funkify, an augmented reality tool to simulate diverse end users’ experiences and challenges when interacting with software. The research evaluates the tool’s effectiveness for software engineers use in emulating four diverse end user challenges using a heuristics-based evaluation and cognitive walk-throughs on three target websites. Our results show that the tool successfully simulates the target personas’ challenges varying extent, with some noticeable limitations. We provide suggestions for extensions to Funkify as well as AR tools in general.
