Tell grandma with Parkinson’s to “adapt”. While not as ubiquitus a disability as daltonism or blindness, interfaces should still cater to people with them.
When it’s kids adapting it’s fun. When it’s someone with tremors physically incapable of gently and precisely tapping the exact 5px, it’s just bad design.
I’ve yet to see an accessibility setting for this very valid usecase.
I mean, yes. You’re right, ideally. But it’s very, very difficult in the general sense to design something that works for every human. Not even fully capable humans will agree on what the best interface is.
That’s why there are different products that cater to different people. Maybe grandma with Parkinson’s shouldn’t have a smartphone with a touch screen. 🙂👍 There are alternatives.
