Test deployment. This address is a preview of IMPULSE Curator for the project partners. Contact details, the register entry and the report address will be added before the public launch.

This statement applies to IMPULSE Curator at https://impulse-bridge.octo-code.de. Institut für Strategische Ästhetik gGmbH is not a public-sector body; we publish this statement voluntarily because the Curator is built for everyone who works with cultural heritage.

Status

We aim for conformance with WCAG 2.2 at level AA. Automated checks (axe-core) find no violations on any page or dialog, in light and in dark appearance. A manual audit by accessibility experts has not been done yet.

What works

  • Everything can be done with the keyboard, including reordering assets with the arrow keys.
  • Focus is always visible; reduced-motion settings are respected.
  • Text scales with your browser's settings; the layout works on phones.
  • Light, dark and system appearance, with sufficient contrast in each.

Known limitations

  • Images and their descriptions come from the archives. Most images have no text alternative beyond their title and creator, which the Curator uses instead.
  • 3D models are shown through a preview image; the model itself is loaded by IMPULSE.
  • The quality of the archives' metadata varies, and some of it is not in English.

Feedback

If something is hard to use, tell us through the contact in the imprint. We aim to reply within two weeks.
