• Supporting People with Acquired Brain Injury to Use a Reminding App; Narrow-deep vs. Broad-shallow User Interfaces

  Matthew Jamieson, Marilyn Lennon, Breda Cullen, Stephen Brewster, Jonathan Evans · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This study compares two contrasting user interface approaches for smartphone reminder apps used by people with acquired brain injury (ABI). "Broad-shallow" interfaces show lots of information on fewer screens (requiring scrolling), while "narrow-deep" interfaces present one…

• Technical Perspective: Computation Where the (Inter)Action Is

  Jeffrey P. Bigham · 2022 · Communications of the ACM

  This one-page technical perspective accompanies the SoundWatch paper in Communications of the ACM. Bigham uses SoundWatch — a smartwatch prototype that detects audio events and displays descriptions for deaf and hard-of-hearing people — as a lens to explore broader questions…
