Abstract

The use of social media plays an important role in our lives. It is crucial that visually impaired (VI) can likewise take part in various social media platforms. In this paper, we tried to discover the problems and interactions faced by VI on Facebook with the help of tasks that are prepared beforehand. We, researchers helped the participant to pass the steps required to complete these predetermined tasks if the participant encountered a problem. According to the first factor, the results are displayed in terms of points attributed to the steps. Secondly, the time required to complete the task is checked. The third factor is if the participant had already known it before or not. As a result, findings in terms of usability and accessibility are discussed.
