TriadCity Message of the Day
The TriadCity
talking UI
now reads popup windows. Very cool!
TriadCity uses popups in-game to display road signs, artworks, books, even whole movies.
This creates an issue for users of the non visual UI because they'll have to turn their screen reader off for the talking UI,
then on for the popups.
Now they can bag the reader altogether.
Nice!

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication. — Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info )
