Accessibility

The Museum of Economic Models (MoEM) is committed to making its online museum as accessible as possible. We believe that economic education should be available to everyone, regardless of ability or assistive technology needs.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are actively working to improve the experience for all visitors. We welcome feedback from users who encounter barriers or have suggestions for improvement.

MoEM is an early-stage project currently in active development. A formal accessibility audit against WCAG 2.1 has not yet been completed. We do not yet make a claim of conformance to any specific WCAG level.

Our development roadmap includes accessibility improvements as a priority, and we are working to address known barriers as resources allow.

The entire museum can be visited without a mouse. Press ? at any time to open this reference inside the museum itself.

• Museum map: Tab moves between room badges in logical order and Enter visits the focused room — the keyboard equivalent of dragging Filikon. ←/→ rotate the view, Shift+arrows pan, +/− zoom, and T starts or ends the guided tour.
• Inside a room: ←/→ turn, ↑/↓ walk between standpoints. Tab and Shift+Tab face the next exhibit, door, or interactive station to your right or left — the on-screen label names what you are facing — and Enter opens it. Escape returns you to the map, with your position remembered.
• Dialogs and reading panels: focus is held inside the dialog, Tab cycles its controls, and Escape closes it, returning you to where you were.
• Anywhere: Ctrl/⌘+K opens a search palette that jumps directly to any exhibit and opens it.

Screen readers are supported: room badges and dialogs carry proper roles and labels, and a live status region announces room arrivals (with exhibit and door counts) and each target you face inside a room. Camera movements respect your operating system’s reduced-motion preference.

While we work toward full accessibility, we want to be upfront about current challenges:

• Interactive widgets: The hands-on stations (market games and laboratory walk-throughs) are reachable and closable by keyboard, but some of their internal controls are still being audited for full keyboard operability.
• Growing Content: As the museum expands with new exhibitions, not all content may immediately meet accessibility standards. We aim to address issues as they are identified and prioritize accessibility in new feature development.

If you experience an accessibility barrier on this site, we want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us prioritize improvements and better serve all visitors.

Please contact us at Loading... with:

• The specific page or feature where you encountered the barrier
• The assistive technology or browser you were using
• A description of the issue you experienced

We take all accessibility feedback seriously and will aim to respond within 10 business days. We may not be able to implement all requested changes immediately, but we will acknowledge your feedback and consider it in our development planning.

If you are unsatisfied with our response to an accessibility concern, you may contact the monitoring body for web accessibility in Austria:

This is the official monitoring body responsible for ensuring compliance with accessibility requirements for public sector websites in Austria.
