TwitterNomensa have released the source code of their accessible media player to the public:
With a highly accessible interface, Nomensa’s media player can be used by people with disabilities, even when they don’t use a mouse. The simple design also makes it easy for everyone to access multimedia content on the web.
Nomensa’s media player brings together the best of new and trusted technologies. The option to switch between HTML5 and Flash mean the player can be used across all platforms, including Apple’s iDevice range.
Nomensa believe that technology is a tool that everyone has the right to share and use. Nomensa’s humanised media player encapsulates this philosophy, making it possible for everyone to access multimedia technology. It really is humanising technology at its best.
Good move! It’s a pretty powerful and useful bit of kit, which you can find on github:
The Nomensa accessible media player is a flexible multimedia solution for websites and intranets. The core player consists of JavaScript wrapper responsible for generating an accessible HTML toolbar for interacting with a media player of your choice. We currently provide support for YouTube (default), Vimeo and JWPlayer although it should be possible to integrate the player with almost any media player on the web (provided a JavaScript api for the player in question is available).
