• How Older Adults Learn to Use Mobile Devices: Survey and Field Investigations

  Rock Leung, Charlotte Tang, Shathel Haddad, Joanna McGrenere, Peter Graf, Vilia Ingriany · 2012 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This research investigates how older adults (65+) learn to use mobile devices, combining a survey study of 131 respondents across three age groups (20-49, 50-64, 65+) with an in-depth field study of six older adults learning to use an Android smartphone. The survey examined 11…

• Towards Accessible Touch Interfaces

  Tiago Guerreiro, Hugo Nicolau, Joaquim Jorge, Daniel Gonçalves · 2010 · Proceedings of the 12th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2010)

  This paper presents an empirical evaluation of touch screen interaction techniques with 15 tetraplegic users, aiming to provide evidence-based guidance for designing accessible mobile touch interfaces. The authors recognized that while touch screen devices eliminate the need for…

• NavTap: A Long Term Study with Excluded Blind Users

  Tiago Guerreiro, Hugo Nicolau, Joaquim Jorge, Daniel Gonçalves · 2009 · Proceedings of the 11th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '09)

  This paper presents a long-term evaluation of NavTap, a navigational text-entry method designed specifically for blind users who cannot effectively use standard mobile phone text input. Unlike traditional MultiTap — where users press a key multiple times to cycle through letters…

• The Field Evaluation of a Mobile Digital Image Communication Application Designed for People with Aphasia

  Meredith Allen, Joanna McGrenere, Barbara Purves · 2008 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper presents PhotoTalk, a mobile application designed to help people with aphasia capture and manage digital photographs for face-to-face communication. The research addresses a significant gap: while AAC devices exist for aphasia, very few have been evaluated through…

• Input to the Mobile Web is Situationally-Impaired

  Tianyi Chen · 2008 · Proceedings of the 10th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '08)

  This paper investigates the overlap between input problems experienced by mobile web users and those faced by disabled desktop users, particularly people with motor impairments. The author argues that these two domains are typically studied in isolation despite sharing…
