Clear structure
A skip link, semantic landmarks, descriptive page titles, and consistent navigation help visitors reach the main content.
Accessibility
Access should be visible.
Kinesema Labs is designed around Deaf and hard-of-hearing access, sign language, clear structure, keyboard use, and multiple ways of understanding information. This page explains what is supported now, what remains limited, and how to report an access barrier.

Current accessibility support
Available now.
These are the practical foundations currently present across the public website. They are checked again as the site changes.
Scannable content
Short sections, descriptive headings, readable line lengths, and visible routes make pages easier to scan before deeper reading.
Keyboard foundations
Links and buttons use standard HTML, a natural tab order, and visible focus treatment across the shared website.
Responsive layouts
Pages are designed to reflow across desktop, tablet, mobile, and browser zoom without losing the main access path.
Current boundaries
Known limitations.
Accessibility is not complete after one technical pass. These limits remain visible so the site does not overstate what has been established.
- The site does not yet provide signed versions of its public pages. Future signed media will require clear consent, captions, and transcripts.
- The current baseline is not a claim of universal accessibility or formal WCAG conformance. Testing across every browser, platform, and assistive technology is not complete.
- Interactive Kinesema and Atlas views need repeated keyboard, screen-reader, zoom, contrast, and text-spacing checks as they change.
Accessibility feedback
Encountered an access barrier?
Tell us what happened, which page you were using, and what format or adjustment would help. The feedback path does not require a voice call.
Sharing is voluntary. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information.
Next priorities
Planned improvements.
- Broaden keyboard, screen-reader, zoom, contrast, text-spacing, browser, and device testing.
- Provide captions, transcripts, and intentional signed access when future public media is ready.
- Keep improving plain-language summaries, cognitive load, and community feedback paths.
Principles
How we approach access.
Access from the beginning
Accessibility shapes the system, its explanations, and its testing rather than being added only at the end.
With people, not over them
Access work should be informed by the people who use it, especially Deaf and disabled communities.
Sign language is language
Signed access should be meaningful, reviewed, and treated as language rather than decorative media.
Multiple ways in
Important information should not depend on one sensory, cognitive, or language path.
Accessibility checks and review details
The generated website is checked for page titles, language, headings, landmarks, skip links, unique IDs, valid ARIA references, image alternatives, and named controls.
A browser-assisted baseline also covered keyboard order, visible focus, contrast, reduced motion, forced colours, narrow screens, text spacing, and zoom-style reflow. Representative human-operated macOS review covered keyboard paths, native 200% zoom, Safari VoiceOver, Increase Contrast, and Differentiate Without Color.
The current baseline was last reviewed on 18 July 2026. These checks do not establish universal conformance or replace review by disabled people, assistive-technology users, or the communities Kinesema Labs hopes to support.
