Curious: do any other stereoblind folk have trouble with touch screens?
I have no depth-perception. I constantly misjudge how far my finger is away from the screen and I usually tap a lot of air before I make contact. Also, if the screen is angled in any way, my perspective goes way off and I THINK I’m aiming for a button but miss completely, often hitting other buttons around it. At a touch pad kiosk, my friend saw me attempting to select a DVD rental a few years back and was quite aghast how bad my touch screen aim is. I was standing beside him so my angle to the screen was off, and therefore I was off.
And this is with corrective lenses.
