audio & button navigation - new wiki page, & feedback please

[Alison Benjamin]

Hi,

I've started a wiki page for exploring options of audio & button  
navigation for the kiosk. It goes without saying that since these  
issues are tightly bound with the overall interaction design and  
physical design of the kiosk! This means you should consider this page  
a work in progress that will evolve.

There's a section at the bottom called "audio options". I'm hoping  
this will start the discussion in the community about how our kiosk  
will facilitate audio access to both the content and navigation  
through the kiosk's features.

I'm hoping that developers and designers in the community can chime in  
with feedback and thoughts on how we can create a highly usable and  
sustainable audio experience.

Is the kiosk self voicing? Accessed by headphones or a wand-like device?
Do we adapt a commercial or open source screen reader? If so which  
ones & how?
Used canned MP3's that facilitate access?
How do we ensure this audio feature is designed and incorporated in  
such a way that it is sustainable (e.g. to Engage developers, & the  
DIA itself)

Please help me begin to understand the pros, cons, and assumptions of  
these options, or suggest others..
