To overcome the shortcomings posed by audio rendering of web pages for blind users, this paper implements an interaction technique where web pages are parsed so as to automatically generate a virtual reality scene that is augmented with a haptic feedback. All elements of a web page are transformed into a corresponding "hapget" (haptically-enhanced widget), a three dimensional widget exhibiting a behavior that is consistent with their web counterpart and having haptic extension governed by usability guidelines for haptic interaction. A set of implemented hapgets is described and used in some examples. All hapgets introduced an extension to UsiXML, a XML-compliant User Interface Description Language that fosters model-driven engineering of user interfaces. In this way, it possible to render any UsiXML-compatible user interface thanks to the interaction technique described, and not only web pages.
