• Addressing the Situational Impairments Encountered by Firefighters through the Design of Alerts

  Flynn Wolf, Priyanka Soni, Ravi Kuber, Dianne Pawluk, Brian Turnage · 2019 · Proceedings of the 16th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper describes a structured multi-step approach to designing multimodal alerts for firefighters who experience severe situationally-induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs) at fire scenes — thick smoke restricting vision, loud noise from combustion, sirens, and power…

• An empirical investigation of the situationally-induced impairments experienced by blind mobile device users

  Ali Abdolrahmani, Ravi Kuber, Amy Hurst · 2016 · Proceedings of the 13th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper investigates the situationally-induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs) experienced by blind people when using mobile devices in real-world contexts. While prior SIID research has focused on sighted users encountering temporary impediments (like walking while…

• Developing a Wearable Tactile Prototype to Support Situational Awareness

  Flynn Wolf · 2016 · Proceedings of the 13th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This doctoral consortium paper from UMBC describes dissertation research into head-mounted tactile displays for spatial and situational awareness, with applications for people who are blind and those experiencing situational impairments. The research program is grounded in…

• "Old Habits Die Hard!": Eyetracking Based Experiential Transcoding: A Study with Mobile Users

  Elgin Akpınar, Yeliz Yeşilada · 2015 · Proceedings of the 12th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper presents an eyetracking-based approach to experiential transcoding — the practice of reformatting web pages into more accessible forms based on understanding how users actually experience and navigate content. The authors built on their earlier eMine project, which…

• Experiential Transcoding: An EyeTracking Approach

  Yeliz Yesilada, Simon Harper, Sukru Eraslan · 2013 · Proceedings of the 10th International Cross-Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility (W4A)

  This paper introduces "experiential transcoding" — a user-centred approach to web page transformation that uses eye-tracking data from sighted users to understand how people actually experience web pages, then uses those patterns to guide transcoding for blind and situationally…

• A Simple Solution: Solution Migration from Disabled to Small Device Context

  Yeliz Yesilada, Tianyi Chen, Simon Harper · 2010 · Proceedings of the 2010 International Cross Disciplinary Conference on Web Accessibility (W4A)

  This paper demonstrates how accessibility solutions developed for motor-impaired desktop users can be migrated to benefit small-device (mobile) users who experience similar input difficulties. The authors had previously replicated a study originally investigating input…

• 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…
