This is very true, for the monitor part. But it doesnt have to be voice controlled, as this may be pretty inconvenient and fast enough. I imagine a laptop with the screen removed, or maybe something else just to protect the keyboard. It should still have a braille keyboard and whatnot. Touchpad maybe not.
I feel like desktop controller support would be more accessible than a mouse. A mouse you can put into the void that is your desktop. This is not useful if you don’t have vision. You’d not use a desktop UI/UX as we know it for these things. Also, not all blind people know braille. Screen readers are helpful but if you were making a made-for-blind people environment I don’t think you could stop at turning up the contrast and putting a screen reader on.
Very true! Also a hard question if the desktop should simply have no monitor. Because making an accessible GUI for people with impaired vision doesnt seem thaat hard. A high contrast theme, very strong zoom, all these already work well in KDE. The login screen could be a problem and there is more, but its not reinventing the wheel.
But the controller support is a good point. And that not all blind people know braille.
