The Engineer Online reported that scientist at the University of Manchester have been developing a project which will combine web accessibility with mobile phone technologies.
The chief aim of the project is to develop new software that will make the mobile web simple to sue as the World Wide Web.
The Mobile Web accessibility project is being lead by Dr. Simon Harper from the University’s School of Computer Science
Dr Harper said: ‘Mobile web users are handicapped not by physiology but technology. Not only is the screen on the majority of phones very small, limiting the user’s vision, but the information displayed is difficult to navigate and read.
The team will have many challenges to overcome with this project, small screen devices are a lot more difficult than larger desktop screens.
