• ExNovo: A user interface that supports novices without encumbering experts

  Mark Blair, Amanda Klassen, Justin O'Camb, Cal Woodruff, Rollin Poe, Christine Chuong, Robin Barrett · 2026 · ACM Games

  ExNovo is a novel hierarchical tree menu interface designed to bridge the long-standing divide between graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and keyboard hotkeys. Traditional GUIs scaffold novice users by making command options visible, but their reliance on precise mouse targeting…

• How Well Can 3D Accessibility Guidelines Support XR Development? An Interview Study with XR Practitioners in Industry

  Daniel Killough, Tiger F. Ji, Kexin Zhang, Yaxin Hu, Yu Huang, Ruofei Du, Yuhang Zhao · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This study is the first systematic evaluation of how well existing 3D accessibility (a11y) guidelines transfer to extended reality (XR) development in industry. The authors conducted 25 semi-structured interviews (1.5–3 hours each) with XR practitioners spanning freelancers,…

• When Assistive Technologies become Provocations: Unpacking Access in HCI practices using Crip Technoscience, Mouth Interfaces, and XR

  Puneet Jain, Ayush Sharma, Sidharth Chaudhary, Vivek Rawat, Akhilesh Kumar Bhagat, Kratika Jain, Christian Bayerlein, Christopher Lloyd Salter, Gowdham Prabhakar · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper reframes assistive technology as political provocation rather than technical fix. Developed in long-term collaboration with two disabled artists - Eric Desrosiers (muscular dystrophy) and Christian Bayerlein (spinal muscular atrophy), both mouth-operated…

• "We need a vision first": Speculating Deaf-Centered Immersive Classrooms

  Shuxu Huffman, Abraham Glasser, Christopher Hayes, Christian Vogler, Raja Kushalnagar · 2026 · Extended Abstracts of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI EA '26)

  Huffman and colleagues at Gallaudet University present an all-Deaf-authored speculative design study that asks not how extended-reality (XR) classrooms can be retrofitted for Deaf students, but what XR classrooms should look like when Deaf teachers lead the design from scratch.…

• Smart Glasses for CVI: Co-Designing Extended Reality Solutions to Support Environmental Perception by People with Cerebral Visual Impairment

  Bhanuka Gamage, Nicola McDowell, Dijana Kovacic, Leona Holloway, Thanh-Toan Do, Arthur James Lowery, Nicholas Price, Kim Marriott · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents the first co-design study developing and evaluating smart glasses as an assistive platform for adults with cerebral visual impairment (CVI). CVI is set to become the leading cause of vision impairment, yet it remains dramatically underrepresented in assistive…

• XRMusic4VIP: Enabling Simultaneous Sheet Music Reading and Playing for Visually Impaired Musicians through Extended Reality

  Julia Anken, Delia Blaess, Karin Müller · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper addresses a largely unexplored challenge in music accessibility: enabling visually impaired musicians to simultaneously read sheet music and play keyboard instruments. While assistive technologies for visually impaired musicians exist—including magnification tools,…

• Investigating Sign Language Interpreter Rendering and Guiding Methods in Virtual Reality 360-Degree Content

  Craig Anderton · 2022 · Proceedings of the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '22)

  This paper explores how sign language interpretation can be effectively presented in virtual reality 360-degree (VR360) three-degrees-of-freedom video content. The research addresses a significant gap: while VR accessibility guidelines exist for subtitles, there has been almost…
