Mobile Accessibility

Tim Berners-Lee, founder of the World Wide Web (WWW), said that ‘the
power of the web lies in its universality’.

Mobile applications can be viewed in the same vein. Mobile
accessibility is the concept that mobile devices and applications should
be accessible to anyone, regardless of disability or age.

Accessibility is not limited to people with disabilities. Products such as
remote controls, automatic doors, and lever-type handles developed
for the disabled and the elderly are conveniently used by everyone.

Similarly, if mobile service providers create mobile applications with
accessibility in mind, they will provide services to more users.
Businesses have the opportunity to broaden their target audience, and
all users will have a positive experience of using the application equally.

In Korea, it is obligatory to comply with the accessibility requirements
for convenient use of all mobile applications under the provisions of
the Framework Act on Intelligent Informatization and the Prevention of
Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities Act.
