Notes

This article introduced an approach called Cultural Viewpoint Metaphors (CVM) to improve web accessibility for users with visual impairment. These users may not be able to understand original online contents, however, through CVM, which translates contents into daily signs, those contents may become easier to interpret. Therefore, the use of metaphors may bring in more available and readable contents visually impaired users in practice.
