Popis: According to the China Disabled Persons’ Federation statistics, by 2015 China’s low vision and the number of blind people had up to 31.475 million; and color blindness in China is about 5.5% to 9%. While the red-green blind population accounts for about 8.5% of the global population. Of which 6% of the population suffered from color weak, and about 2% of the population is color blindness. Visually impaired people can not compete with ordinary people in the living environment of information access. In this situation, as the rapid expansion of network information, visual barriers are more hard to access to information from the network and had some obstacles that the amount of information obtained they get is more limited than before compared with present ordinary people. The mainly way people who suffer from visual impairment cognitive world are tactile, auditory, olfactory, taste, a certain vision of the obstacles may be the color of cognitive problems. That means when those people browsing the graphical interface they may have some problems if the design not humane enough.
