Sorry, the link was just for illustrating some features available in the
proprietary world.
I appreciate the alternate, multimodal solutions you are envisioning
(speech recognition, gestures, predefined keys on touch screen,...).
Yes, a user interface _exclusively_ based on vision will exclude
visually impaired people. This seems quite obvious, in fact not so much,
it depends on our own awareness of accessibility barriers :-/
Best regards,
