In Japan, Eizo is launching another monitor for PC users with colour vision problems
In Japan, Eizo plans to market a 24inch LCD "with a Colorblindsystem which allows people who are suffering from this problem to beable to 'see' most of the graphic display," says Akihabara News. There is already an 18in version.
The story links to the Color Universal Designwebsite which says this is "a user-oriented design system, which hasbeen developed in consideration of people with various types of colorvision, to allow information to be accurately conveyed to as manyindividuals as possible."
It points out that "both Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in theUS, enacted in 1998, and Phase III of the Disability Discrimination Actin the UK, started from 2004, explicitly call for the consideration topeople with disabilities including the colorblind among others."However, as with other examples of usability-oriented design, itbenefits everyone.
