• Beyond Beautiful: Embroidering Legible and Expressive Tactile Graphics

  Margaret Ellen Seehorn, Claris Winston, Bo Liu, Gene S-H Kim, Emily White, Nupur Gorkar, Kate S Glazko, Aashaka Desai, Jerry Cao, Megan Hofmann, Jennifer Mankoff · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper explores machine embroidery as a medium for producing tactile graphics—tangible representations of visual information used by blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals. Current methods for producing tactile graphics, primarily embossing and swell paper printing,…

• Development and Theoretical Evaluation of Optimized Phonemic Interfaces

  Gabriel J. Cler, Cara E. Stepp · 2017 · Proceedings of the 19th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '17)

  This paper presents the development and computational evaluation of optimized phonemic communication interfaces for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users. Unlike traditional letter-based (orthographic) interfaces like QWERTY keyboards, phonemic interfaces allow…

• Reconciling User and Designer Preferences in Adapting Web Pages for People with Low Vision

  Yoann Bonavero, Marianne Huchard, Michel Meynard · 2015 · Proceedings of the 12th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper addresses the challenge of adapting web pages for people with low vision while preserving the original design intent. Unlike simple approaches that override all colors or apply uniform changes, the authors frame web page adaptation as a multi-objective optimization…

• Accommodating Color Blind Computer Users

  Luke Jefferson, Richard Harvey · 2006 · Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper from the University of East Anglia presents an algorithm for recoloring digital images and documents so that color information is preserved for color blind viewers, particularly dichromats (people missing one type of cone cell). The algorithm addresses a fundamental…
