  • Toward supporting quality alt text in computing publications

    Candace Williams, Lilian de Greef, Ed Harris, Leah Findlater, Amy Pavel, Cynthia Bennett · 2022 · Proceedings of the 19th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

    This paper investigates the state of alternative text for figures in computing research publications, an understudied context where figures often convey dense, complex visual information quite different from social media or news imagery. The researchers conducted two…

  • Where Are You Taking Me? Reflections from Observing Ridesharing Use By People with Visual Impairments

    Earl W. Huff Jr., Robin N. Brewer, Julian Brinkley · 2022 · Proceedings of the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS)

    This paper presents a methodological case study of conducting quasi-naturalistic observations of 17 blind or visually impaired participants using the Uber ridesharing service. Rather than reporting substantive findings about ridesharing accessibility (which are reserved for a…

  • Diffscriber: Describing Visual Design Changes to Support Mixed-Ability Collaborative Presentation Authoring

    Yi-Hao Peng, Jason Wu, Jeffrey Bigham, Amy Pavel · 2022 · Proceedings of the 35th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST)

    This paper presents Diffscriber, a system that identifies and describes visual design changes made to slide presentations, enabling blind and visually impaired (BVI) presenters to meaningfully participate in collaborative slide authoring with sighted collaborators. The research…
