Description

The kiosk mode is a tool that we offer our customers for building single-application appliances such as information displays, POS terminals, banking terminals, etc. In the light of new European regulations, supporting accessibility features on such applications may be seen as a requirement.

It would be good for us to provide guidance and maybe some level of support for this.

Relevant accessibility features include:

• Screen Reader
• Keyboard accessibility features (slow keys, etc)
• Large text
• Large cursor
• High contrast
• Magnifier / Zoom

Relevant features that aren't strictly accessibility-related:

• On-screen keyboard
• Volume Control
• Brightness Control

A concern here is that adding UI to gnome-kiosk for these would be very slippery slope towards turning it into a full desktop.

What SSTs and Layered Product teams should review this?
