GPII Vision
• “Any person, Anywhere, Any time, Any device”• Not a law or regulation, but a way for companies,
institutions, etc. to meet legal requirements• Not an attack on existing AT
• Part of the ecosystem• A new way for AT companies to distribute products
• Stakeholders are diverse• People with disabilities – Schools & colleges – ICT companies –
AT companies – Employers – Publishers – Governments …• To succeed, we must find out what each stakeholder needs and
cares about, and respond to it

GPII Solution: EZ Access Simplified Interface

2. GPII Wizard
• As shown in the animation, the Wizard is an engaging software experience that helps people identify the features that would make technology easier for them to use.
• That personal profile is stored in the cloud and ready to be implemented on any device the person is using.

3. Dilemma of the “Scarce Visitor”
• In public settings (retail, libraries, etc.) people with disabilities may not identify themselves or may even shy away from visiting
• Accessibility needs and solutions are diverse and complex
• Staff time is tight• Cannot become experts on disability and technology
• Budgets are tight• Some accessibility solutions are expensive

GPII Solution to the Dilemma: GPII “Gadget”
• Special (secure) touchpad that plugs into computer and launches GPII login, accessibility solution menu, Wizard, and portal
• Those who arrive with their GPII profiles can just log in and get their set-up
• New users can go through Wizard or select a specific solution (esp. OS features)
• Portal provides support for both user and staffer

4. Contextual Portal
• Solves local problems with localized information/resources
• Examples:• Library: EZ Access, catalog of captioned and described movies,
how to register for getting a sign language interpreter at upcoming municipal meetings
• Retail: CTIA/GARI product information; screen shots of high contrast settings on settop box screens; access to video remote interpreter for retail transaction; access to retail chain’s accessibility home page
