Adoption and Configuration of Assistive Technologies: A Semiotic Engineering Perspective
Katherine Deibel · 2007 · Proceedings of the 9th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '07)
This paper from the University of Washington proposes applying semiotic engineering — an HCI design methodology rooted in semiotics (the study of signs, symbols, and their meanings) — to address the high abandonment rate of assistive technologies. Studies show that approximately…
