University of Manchester (UoM), Manchester, UK, Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science, (June 2001)Now there's a funny story here. In short, I've lost the electronic copy. Got the paper one and it's lodged in two libraries so I did do it... but no personal pdf version..

Abstract

The 'Towel' project seeks to find solutions to problems encountered by visually impaired users when travelling in the World-Wide-Web (Web) by leveraging solutions found in real-world mobility. Visually impaired users find mobility on the Web particularly difficult because of the reliance of hypermedia on visual layout. Hypertext design and usability guidelines have traditionally concentrated upon navigation to facilitate this mobility; consequently other aspects of travel are neglected.
