  • Exploring the Impacts of Background Noise on Auditory Stimuli of Audio-Visual eHMIs for Hearing, Deaf, and Hard-of-Hearing People

    Wenge Xu, Foroogh Hajiseyedjavadi, Debargha Dey, Tram Thi Minh Tran, Mark Colley · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

    This CHI 2026 paper investigates a critical but overlooked accessibility question in the design of external Human-Machine Interfaces (eHMIs) for automated vehicles (AVs): how do Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) pedestrians experience audio-visual eHMIs, and how does real-world…

  • Planning Your Journey in Audio: Design and Evaluation of Auditory Route Overviews

    Nida Aziz, Tony Stockman, Rebecca Stewart · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

    This research develops and evaluates an auditory route overview system that enables blind users to preview walking routes before embarking on journeys. The system addresses a critical gap: while many navigation aids support live guidance, few tools allow blind travelers to gain…

  • Semiotics Contributions to Accessible Interface Design

    María Inés Laitano · 2015 · Proceedings of the 12th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

    This extended abstract argues that semiotic theory — the study of signs and meaning-making — can complement WCAG-based approaches to produce more meaningfully accessible interfaces. Laitano contrasts the WAI model, which centres on content (information plus markup) accessed…

  • Conversational Gestures for Direct Manipulation on the Audio Desktop

    T. V. Raman · 1998 · Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

    This paper by T. V. Raman of Adobe Systems' Advanced Technology Group presents a systematic methodology for designing auditory interfaces by decomposing visual interaction into "conversational gestures" — the atomic building blocks of human-computer dialogue. Rather than…
