Reading for the visually impaired

IFLS shared this research project from MIT:

I taught English to the visually impaired for many years. So my first 5 second impression on the usability:

• the user will need to figure out how tall the line height is for this particular book
• how does the user know where the text start on the page
• Text flowing around photos may be tricky too.

But perhaps the user can adapt easily. It would be great to see the usability studies.

Great stuff! Thanks MIT's Patti Maes for sponsoring this project!
