Storm Assistive Technology Products provide improved
accessibility for those with impaired vision, restricted
mobility or limited fine motor skills.
Kiosks, ATMs, ticketing machines and voting terminals usually present information about
available products and services via a visual display or touch screen. Nav-Bar
™
is a highly tactile
interface that improves accessibility, making audio navigation and selection of screen based menus
possible. An audio description of available menu options is transmitted to the user through a headset,
handset or cochlea implant. When the desired menu page or menu option is located it can be selected by
the press of a distinctive tactile button. Successful implementation of the Nav-Bar
™
requires a compliant host
application featuring synthesized or recorded human voice audio-tags.

Nav-Bar
™
was developed in association with the Trace Research & Development
Center with support from the University of Wisconsin. Nav-Bar
™
is a compliant
tactile interface device for use as part of an ADA audible menu navigation
system or EZ-Access
®
implementation.

• Space efficient horizontal format for use with contemporary
touch-screen kiosks.
• Easy to navigate and makes audio references to a key’s position and function
easier to understand. For example: The circular shaped ‘select’ key is the
second key from the right.
• Internal colour coded illumination makes location of individual keys much
easier for those with partial vision.
• The keytop’s distinctive shape and tactile symbols provide the primary means
of identifying a key’s specific function.
• The intensity of keytop illumination can be adjusted or turned off
when not in use.
•
Each keytop is illuminated by a dedicated LED light source. Each LED is
independently controllable.
• By use of the Nav-Bar
™
utility software, default illumination status and
‘wake-up’ behaviour can be selected. USB key-press codes can also be changed.
• Optional Audio-Module includes sound volume controls and an illuminated
jack plug socket for headset connection. (Audio-Module supplied separately).
• The Audio-Module can be positioned separately from the Nav-Bar
™
to optimize system ergonomics.
• Nav-Bar
™
is connected to the Audio-Module via a ribbon cable (supplied).
• Nav-Bar
™
is connected to the host system via a single USB cable
(supplied separately).
