ChromeLens

Visual impairment simulation and auditing tools to develop for accessibility.

ChromeLens: Enhancing Web Accessibility Development

ChromeLens is a Google Chrome extension that facilitates the development of web accessibility features. This tool includes a 'Lens' that simulates varied levels of visual impairment, including complete, partial, or colorblind vision, allowing developers to interact with websites through these perspectives. Additionally, it features an 'Accessibility Audit' function that inspects websites for non-compliant elements according to accessibility rules. Notably, its 'Tab-tracker' function enables users to track website navigation through keyboard commands, thereby aiding the creation of websites that are accessible via keyboard alone. ChromeLens is an open-source project from greylockhackfest 2016.
