Onboarding Mini-Game Requiring Device Motion With No Alternative

2.5.4 — Motion Actuation

Scenario

Setting

A nonprofit's donation form

What’s wrong

Device-orientation mini-games in onboarding gates with no alternative and no disable.

Example

Here's a real case from a nonprofit's donation form: device-orientation mini-games in onboarding gates with no alternative and no disable.

Why it matters

People with tremor and people whose device cannot be moved freely. In this case (a nonprofit's donation form), they can't operate the feature without a mouse.

How to test

Try to pass an onboarding step via a button instead of a device-orientation gesture: if there's no alternative and no way to disable the requirement, it fails.

How to fix

A conventional on-screen control must duplicate the motion-triggered feature, and motion input must be able to be turned off.

Outcome

Once corrected, a nonprofit's donation form lets them complete the task using only the keyboard.

Who is affected

People with tremor and people whose device cannot be moved freely.
