Carousel

A UI pattern that displays a rotating series of content items (images, cards, teasers) in a single area, typically navigated by swipe, arrows, or auto-advance. Carousels pose well-known accessibility risks: auto-rotation can violate WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide), items beyond the first are often missed, and swipe-only access fails users relying on keyboard or switch input. When used for cognitively accessible design, carousels must include clear navigation controls, avoid auto-rotation, and ensure each slide is reachable without relying on bidirectional scrolling.
