Perceptible information

The design shares important information with the user in different ways, such as pictures, words and touch, so it works for people with different senses.

Example

A crosswalk with a sound and a textured strip on the ground sends the same “safe to cross” message to people who cannot see the green light and to people who cannot hear the sound.

Key point

Perceptible information is about repeated details in different senses, not just saying the same thing again. Each format shares the same important meaning, so no single type stops any user from understanding.
