• A Systematic Review of User Studies as a Basis for the Design of Systems for Automatic Sign Language Processing

  Soraia Prietch, J. Alfredo Sánchez, Josefina Guerrero · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This systematic literature review examines how user studies have been conducted in the design of Automatic Sign Language Processing (ASLP) systems. The authors searched seven repositories plus Google Scholar, identifying 2,486 papers and ultimately selecting 37 primary studies…

• An Easy to Use Data Logger for Local User Studies

  Vagner Figueredo de Santana, Felipe Eduardo Ferreira Silva · 2019 · Proceedings of the 16th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This demonstration paper introduces User Test Logger, an open-source Firefox browser add-on designed to capture detailed user interaction data during local usability and accessibility studies. The authors identify a gap in available tooling: existing interaction logging tools…

• Usage of Subjective Scales in Accessibility Research

  Shari Trewin, Diogo Marques, Tiago Guerreiro · 2015 · ASSETS '15: Proceedings of the 17th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This methodological paper investigates whether positive response bias affects subjective ratings in accessibility research—a critical concern given that Likert-type items are widely used to evaluate assistive technologies. The authors pursued two complementary approaches: a…

• Effect of Displaying Human Videos During an Evaluation Study of American Sign Language Animation

  Hernisa Kacorri, Pengfei Lu, Matt Huenerfauth · 2013 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper addresses a critical methodological question in sign language animation research: how does the choice of upper baseline (human video vs. high-quality animation) and the modality of comprehension questions affect evaluation results? The authors conducted three phases…

• Representing Users in Accessibility Research

  Andrew Sears, Vicki L. Hanson · 2012 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This position paper challenges common practices in accessibility research where studies intended to benefit people with disabilities are conducted without including representative users from those populations. The authors—prominent accessibility researchers—argue that while the…

• The Use of Gestures in Multimodal Input

  Simeon Keates, Peter Robinson · 1998 · Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

  This paper from the University of Cambridge describes the development and evaluation of a prototype multimodal input system designed for users with motion impairments, for whom standard keyboard and mouse arrangements are often unusable. The system combined two gestural input…

• Factors Leading to the Successful Use of Voice Recognition Technology

  Tanya Goette · 1998 · Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

  This paper from Georgia College & State University presents results from a field study investigating why voice recognition technology (VRT) succeeds for some individuals with disabilities and fails for others. Drawing on expectancy theory and innovation-diffusion theory, the…
