Today, MIUI officially launched the MIUI12.5 barrier-free touch function. Barrier-free touch is a brand-new interactive method that transmits accurate information to barrier-free users through the linear vibration motor of mobile phones that can effectively improve the operating efficiency of visually impaired users.
Xiaomi is the first mobile phone manufacturer to successfully apply tactile design to the barrier-free interactive experience.
Apple has explored this field earlier. It is reported that the iPhone does not have a better solution in this field.
According to reports, the newly released barrier-free tactile function of MIUI12.5 system clusters interface elements.
According to the understanding of visually impaired users and gives different types of interface controls different texture metaphors, and different strength levels, which are easy to understand and remember.
Tactile feedback information can help visually impaired users identify different control categories, quickly lock target elements or key operations, know page jumps, effectively prevent operation errors, and can trigger vibration time by double-clicking the lock screen time that is convenient for visually impaired people to obtain efficiently information.
The barrier-free touch function makes the transmission of information more efficient, makes the user more accurate and convenient in the system operation process and makes the user closer to the system.
More importantly, it can help blind users continue to complete the operations they want when the auditory information fails.
The release of the innovative feature of barrier-free touch is actually not accidental. MIUI has invested in research and development in the barrier-free field as early as 2013, leading the current Android system.
Currently, there are 338 million visually impaired people in the world. Xiaomi continues to invest in accessibility features on MIUI12.5.
It is hoped that through the release of new features of barrier-free touch, the visually impaired people can obtain information efficiently and accurately so that mobile phones can become warm.
It is understood that Xiaomi’s research and development of accessibility features are actually due to a helpful post of a visually impaired rice fan on the MIUI forum many years ago. Subsequently, the Xiaomi MIUI team embarked on a seven-year road of accessibility optimization.
