Touch&View

An adaptable, assistive YouTube playlist application

This YouTube interface application was designed in collaboration with practising occupational and speech and language therapists, to provide an adaptable, flexible and switch-accessible YouTube interface for rehabilitation patients.

Features

-------------------

This app allows users to redesign the interface according to your own needs — to resize, add and remove YouTube control buttons for example, including next video/playlist, previous video/playlist, play, pause and volume controls.

Users may also choose between a variety of possible interaction mechanisms, including straightforwardly clicking the buttons displayed on-screen, using multiple taps anywhere on-screen to select a particular button (tapping twice to activate the second button displayed for example), holding your touch for a duration specific to each button, or holding your touch to cycle between buttons.

The app has also been designed to function with assistive switch devices.

An intuitive interface editing and account management system allows users to create and save multiple personalised interaction design and content configurations.

New YouTube video playlists can be added to the app by editing your user account. You might choose to add, for example, a YouTube channel's 'Uploaded Videos' playlist, in order for the app to function as a feed for your favourite news, music, comedy, sports or gaming channel.

Please note that several years have passed since this application was last updated. The app was originally designed primarily for use with tablet devices and requires an Internet connection as well as the presence of the default YouTube application on your device.
