Abstract

The first version of the electronic picture book application was designed in 1998. The target group was visually impaired adults with sighted children. It was soon clear that the application had a much broader target group than was originally thought: visually impaired children, persons with motor disabilities, children with mental disabilities and even those without disabilities. With this in mind work was initiated in 2006 to improve the universal design of the application and the electronic book structure. The result is a user interface which is still simple and with flexibility not typically found in entertaining software.
