• Personalized and Accessible TV Interaction for People with Visual Impairments

  Daniel Costa, Carlos Duarte · 2019 · Proceedings of the 16th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper presents the design and implementation of a system that makes Connected TV applications accessible to people with visual impairments by using a smartphone as an accessible second-screen controller. Connected TVs and set-top boxes now offer interactive features beyond…

• Variability in Reactions to Instructional Guidance during Smartphone-Based Assisted Navigation of Blind Users

  Eshed Ohn-Bar, João Guerreiro, Kris Kitani, Chieko Asakawa · 2018 · Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT)

  This paper takes a close, sensor-level look at something most indoor-navigation research glosses over: how differently individual blind users actually react to the same spoken instruction. The authors instrumented a smartphone-and-BLE-beacon turn-by-turn system (based on NavCog)…

• Modeling Expertise in Assistive Navigation Interfaces for Blind People

  Eshed Ohn-Bar, João Guerreiro, Dragan Ahmetovic, Kris M. Kitani, Chieko Asakawa · 2018 · Proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI)

  This short IUI paper asks a question most assistive-navigation research leaves unasked: what happens as a blind user becomes an expert on a route? Existing smartphone guidance apps deliver the same instruction set on a user's tenth trip down a corridor as on their first,…

• Designing for Individuals: Usable Touch-Screen Interaction through Shared User Models

  Kyle Montague, Vicki L. Hanson, Andy Cobley · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

  This paper introduces the Shared User Modelling (SUM) Framework, a system that collects touch interaction data during normal application use to build a user model that can be shared across multiple applications and devices via web services. Unlike traditional accessibility…

• Accessible Indoor Navigation

  Kyle Montague · 2010 · Proceedings of the 12th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2010)

  This doctoral consortium paper presents early-stage research on designing an accessible indoor navigation application for disabled users. Montague identifies a key gap: while outdoor navigation benefits from GPS, indoor wayfinding remains a significant challenge because GPS is…

• Simulating HCI for Special Needs

  Pradipta Biswas · 2007 · SIGACCESS Accessibility and Computing

  This paper describes the development of a simulator designed to model human-computer interaction for users with physical disabilities, addressing a significant gap in HCI research. The author argues that existing HCI models such as the GOMS family (KLM, CMN-GOMS, CPM-GOMS) and…

• Indoor Wayfinding: Developing a Functional Interface for Individuals with Cognitive Impairments

  Alan L. Liu, Harlan Hile, Henry Kautz, Gaetano Borriello, Pat A. Brown, Mark Harniss, Kurt Johnson · 2006 · Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper from the University of Washington describes the design and user evaluation of an indoor wayfinding system for individuals with cognitive impairments, including traumatic brain injury, Down syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder, and cerebral palsy. Rather than…

• Dynamically Adapting GUIs to Diverse Input Devices

  Scott Carter, Amy Hurst, Jennifer Mankoff, Jack Li · 2006 · Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper presents an analysis framework and demonstration tool (Input Adapter Tool, IAT) for automatically modifying desktop application interfaces to accommodate alternative input devices. Most GUI applications assume keyboard and mouse input, creating barriers for people…

• A Semantic Transcoding System to Adapt Web Services for Users with Disabilities

  Anita W. Huang, Neel Sundaresan · 2000 · Proceedings of the Fourth International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '00)

  This paper from IBM Almaden Research Center presents Aurora, a semantic transcoding system that adapts web-based services for users with disabilities by extracting the meaning of web content rather than simply reformatting its syntax. The key problem Aurora addresses is that…
