The tests’ focus was to analyze users’ moods when faced with different accessibility barriers....

El objetivo de recoger esta información fue para comunicar a personas que editan contenido en la Web de forma más empática los problemas de accesibilidad que más afectan a este colectivo, las personas con discapacidad auditiva,y así evitar las barreras de accesibilidad que potencialmente podrían estar creando. Como resultado, se observa que las barreras que causan mas impacto a usuarios con discapacidad auditiva son el “texto complejo” y el “contenido multimedia” sin alternativas. En ambos casos los editores de contenido deberían tener en cuenta vigilar la legibilidad del contenido web y acompañar de subtítulos y lenguaje de signos el contenido multimedia.This work was financed by the Improved User Experience for Sustainable Open Government Data Infrastructures (InDAGuS-UX) (TIN2012-37826-C02-02) project, belonging to the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and also by the collaboration agreement signed between ACTIVA MÚTUA 2008 and the University of Lleida.
