A real path through, not a canvas
The whole roster exists as actual focusable content in
the accessibility tree, not just as pixels. Every entry announces the person’s
name, their class, what they were recognized for, their citation, and whether a
photograph exists at all.
Keyboard and switch access
Arrow keys walk the hall, Enter opens a person, Escape
backs out, and the list becomes visible when it takes focus so a sighted keyboard
user can see where they are.
Reach
Every control lives in the bottom band of the glass —
inside the 15-to-48-inch reach range, so a visitor in a wheelchair can use all of
it. The upper two-thirds is display only, which is also why we recommend a 55"
panel: on a 75" portrait screen, half the glass is out of reach for everyone.
Motion
The wall respects prefers-reduced-motion and
stops drifting entirely rather than merely slowing down. Nothing flashes.
Contrast and type
Names are set at roughly an inch of cap height, which is
the signage rule for a ten-foot read. That is not an accessibility feature bolted
on — it is the same decision that makes the wall work for everyone.
What we can’t promise from here
Angular type size and reach depend on the panel you buy
and how high it’s mounted. We’ll tell you exactly where to hang it and check the
numbers against your actual screen. A vendor who claims compliance without knowing
your mounting height is guessing.
We are also happy to be audited. If your
district has an accessibility office, put them in front of it.
