Why accessibility features can actually backfire

Can Accessibility Features Can Make Apps Worse?

Adding more accessibility features can sometimes make a product less accessible.

Rebecca Rosenberg (CEO and Founder of ReBokeh, a Personalized Vision Technology) explains why tools like ReBokeh created for people who are completely blind do not automatically work for people with low vision.
