Accessibility in digital information environments: perceptions and challenges for people with low vision

Abstract The study looks at accessibility in digital information environments from the perceptions of users with low vision and experts in the field, seeking to understand the challenges and propose improvements for digital inclusion. The methodological process takes a qualitative-quantitative approach, involving interviews with users with low vision and experts, as well as a technical analysis of the digital platforms. Five repositories were analyzed and the data collected was processed using content analysis, covering three main dimensions: technical evaluation, user perceptions and expert contributions. The results indicate that digital accessibility for people with low vision requires the integration of assistive technologies with institutional practices and collaborative strategies.
