Concept designs for Floe
Overview
These are not reference designs for implementation.
The purpose of these designs is to illustrate some of the ideas and avenues Floe is headed toward. In particular:
- Alternate/supplemental formats
- For text, audio narration provisions in various languages, rates of speech, accents/intonation, etc.
- For images, short and extended descriptions or interpretations, and the potential to replace the image entirely with text
- For videos, captioning/subtitling and transcripts, and the potential to replace the video entirely with text
- For audio, captioning/subtitling and transcripts, and the potential to replace the audio entirely with text
- Demands service (i.e., ability for users to request alternate formats, interpretations, etc.)
- Tweaking and adjustments of content presentation and interface (e.g., text, colour, layout, navigation, links, buttons, degree of content excess, etc.)
- Platform-independence (e.g., exports to ebook formats, PDF, print; mobile versions; etc.)
