Physical kiosk design - accessible navigation review

[Alison Benjamin]

Hey all,
My jira task for the next little while is to look at keyboard navigation
from the interaction design perspective. I'd appreciate a brief update as to
what I missed in yesterday's design meeting. If one of you is willing to
catch me up tomorrow so I can sync up I'd definitely appreciate it. You can
ping me off list or on Skype.
Thanks!
Alison
