abstract = "Prior research shows that people with motor
impairments face considerable challenges when using
conventional mice and trackballs. One challenge is
positioning the mouse cursor within confined target
areas; another is executing a precise click without
slipping. These problems can make mouse pointing in
graphical user interfaces very difficult for some
people. This article explores goal crossing as an
alternative strategy for more accessible target
acquisition. In goal crossing, targets are boundaries
that are simply crossed by the mouse cursor. Thus, goal
crossing avoids the two aforementioned problems. To
date, however, researchers have not examined the
feasibility of goal crossing for people with motor
difficulties. We therefore present a study comparing
area pointing and goal crossing. Our performance
results indicate that although Fitts' throughput for
able-bodied users is higher for area pointing than for
goal crossing (4.72 vs. 3.61 bits/s), the opposite is
true for users with motor impairments (2.34 vs. 2.88
bits/s). However, error rates are higher for goal
crossing than for area pointing under a strict
definition of crossing errors (6.23\% vs. 1.94\%). We
also present path analyses and an examination of
submovement velocity, acceleration, and jerk (the
change in acceleration over time). These results show
marked differences between crossing and pointing and
almost categorically favor crossing. An important
finding is that crossing reduces jerk for both
participant groups, indicating more fluid, stable
motion. To help realize the potential of goal crossing
for computer access, we offer design concepts for
crossing widgets that address the occlusion problem,
which occurs when one crossing goal obscures another in
persistent mouse-cursor interfaces. This work provides
the motivation and initial steps for further
exploration of goal crossing on the desktop, and may
help researchers and designers to radically reshape
user interfaces to provide accessible goal crossing,
thereby lowering barriers to access.",

abstract = "{\em Editors' comments:\/} ``Computers and People with
Disabilities'' is a reprint of an article originally
published in {\em Communications of the ACM\/} in 1992.
In this article, Glinert and York issued a
``call-to-arms'' for research and development on
technologies for people with disabilities.
Specifically, they highlighted that human-computer
interfaces at the time generally failed to take into
account the needs of disabled users. Their challenge
was to change computing culture to address this need.
Their article remains timely today in its consideration
of government, industry, and private foundations
working with researchers to achieve accessible
technology. With the recent launch of {\em Transactions
on Accessible Computing}, this seems an appropriate
time to consider progress in the field since, as well
as current research trends.\par
The reprinting of this article is followed by four
commentaries by leaders in accessibility research. Each
was cited in the 1992 article and each now gives their
view on how the field has progressed since that time.
In their commentaries, some themes emerge and new
technologies are discussed. In short, their
commentaries point to both a great deal of progress and
a lack of progress. All four of the commentators note
areas where computing continues to present barriers
rather than assist users with
disabilities.\par
Alistair Edwards sets the stage with a look back at
interfaces and input technologies popular in 1992, with
attention paid to access problems related to graphical
user interfaces (GUIs) that have consumed much research
energy since 1992. Alan Newell highlights disability
concerns that were not given large research
consideration in 1992, but which have now become
significant due, in large part, to changes in global
demographics. Specifically, he brings visibility to
research on older adults and cognitively disabled
users.\par
A number of advances in technology and methodology
since 1992 are discussed by the commentators. The
ubiquity of computing and its critical adoption in the
world today are highlighted. The commentators reflect,
for example, on technologies produced by research for
disabled users that have now impacted mainstream
offerings on standards for accessibility that have
emerged worldwide and their impact and on assistive
technologies that have been developed. Critically, the
proliferation of the World Wide Web was not foreseen in
1992 and its use by people with disabilities is
discussed. Gregg Vanderheiden considers the opportunity
afforded by the Web to provide widespread availability
of accessible software.\par
Glinert and York discussed the need for design for
disability. While research relevant to users with
disabilities is gaining momentum, the commentators
indicate that users with disabilities still struggle
with much of today's IT. The commentators note current
trends toward designs that take into account disabled
users. Notably, Richard Ladner ends his commentary by
mentioning the issue of empowerment. Users with
disabilities have moved beyond simply needing the
protections of regulation that were emerging in 1992,
to being active participants in designing solutions to
allow full participation in the current social,
political, and economic environments.\par
Together, these articles provide a great deal of food
for thought on technology advances and new
considerations of accessible technology. Has the change
in computing culture envisioned by Glinert and York
taken hold?\par

instructive in terms of the things which have changed
--- and those which have not. The technology has
certainly developed. This applies both to the
mainstream and to the assistive technology which aims
to make the mainstream accessible. So, in 1992, the GUI
was a threat to visually impaired computer users; now
there are powerful screen readers available. Yet what
does not appear to have changed much is the fact that
assistive technologies continue to lag behind the
mainstream, constantly having to ``catch up.'' Also,
while there has been some increase in awareness of the
need for accessibility, there is still scope for that
awareness to be translated into action.",

article by Ephraim Glinert and Bryant York was

mostly an add-on, with only Apple computers having
built-in access. Computers were playing an increasingly
important role in education and employment, but had not
yet completely integrated themselves into all aspects
of life as completely as they have today. The World
Wide Web as we know it had not yet been born. Today
there are accessibility features built directly into
every major operating system, and one OS even includes
a built-in screen reader. Assistive technologies are
more numerous and capable. And awareness of the
importance of access is much higher. However, some
things have not changed. Assistive technologies lag
behind mainstream technologies in both compatibility
and functionality. Effective assistive technologies are
often beyond the financial reach of those who need
them. Effective assistive technologies are not
available in many countries and many languages, even
though technology is reaching into education,
employment, and daily living of more countries and more
people in each country every year. In moving forward we
need to build on what we have achieved and explore new
concepts, such as a {\em common technical core,
ubiquitous accessibility, micro-assistive technology},
and {\em free public accessibility}. Cooperative and
collaborative approaches also need to be explored if we
are to have any hope of catching up and keeping up with
the ever-accelerating mainstream information and

since the system must scan through the available
choices one at a time until the desired message is
reached. One way of raising the speed of message
selection is to optimize the elementary scanning delay
in real time so that it allows the user to make
selections as quickly as possible without making too
many errors. With this objective in mind, this article
presents a method for optimizing the scanning delay,
which is based on an analysis of the data recorded in
``log files'' while applying the EDiTH system [Digital
Teleaction Environment for People with Disabilities].
This analysis makes it possible to develop a
human-machine interaction model specific to the study,
and then to establish an adaptive algorithm for the
calculation of the scanning delay. The results obtained
with imposed scenarios and then in ecological
situations provides a confirmation that our algorithms
are effective in dynamically adapting a scan speed. The
main advantage offered by the procedure proposed is
that it works on timing information alone and thus does
not require any knowledge of the scanning device
itself. This allows it to work with any scanning
device.",

Thirty adults with moderate Alzheimer's disease
participated in two personally relevant conversations
with an AAC device. For twelve of the participants the
AAC device included voice output. The AAC device was
the Flexiboard$^{TM}$ containing sixteen messages
needed to discuss a favorite autobiographical topic
chosen by the participant and his/her family
caregivers. Ten-minute conversations were videotaped in
participants' residences and analyzed for four
conversational measures related to the participants'
communicative behavior. Results show that AAC devices
with digitized voice output depress conversational
performance and distract participants with moderate
Alzheimer's disease as compared to similar devices
without voice output. There were significantly more
1-word utterances and fewer total utterances when AAC
devices included voice output, and the rate of topic

voice output was present. Discussion about the novelty
of voice output for this population of elders and the

keystrokes required to form a message in a letter-based
AAC system. It has been questioned, however, whether
such savings translate into an enhanced communication
rate due to the additional overhead (e.g., shifting of
focus and repeated scanning of a prediction list)
required in using such a system. Our hypothesis is that
word prediction has high potential for enhancing AAC
communication rate, but the amount is dependent in a
complex way on the accuracy of the predictions. Due to
significant user interface variations in AAC systems
and the potential bias of prior word prediction
experience on existing devices, this hypothesis is
difficult to verify. We present a study of two
different word prediction methods compared against
letter-by-letter entry at simulated AAC communication
rates. We find that word prediction systems can in fact
speed communication rate (an advanced system gave a
58.6\% improvement), and that a more accurate word
prediction system can raise the communication rate
higher than is explained by the additional accuracy of
the system alone due to better utilization (93.6\%
utilization for advanced versus 78.2\% for basic).",

individuals still struggle with pen-based interaction.
In a previous baseline study, we examined the types of
difficulties younger and older adults encounter when
using pen-based input. The research reported in this
article seeks to address one of these errors, namely,
missing just below. This error occurs in a menu
selection task when a user's selection pattern is
downwardly shifted, such that the top edge of the menu
item below the target is selected relatively often,
while the corresponding top edge of the target itself
is seldom selected. We developed two approaches for
addressing missing just below errors: reassigning
selections along the top edge and deactivating them. In
a laboratory evaluation, only the deactivated edge
approach showed promise overall. Further analysis of
our data revealed that individual differences played a
large role in our results and identified a new source
of selection difficulty. Specifically, we observed two
error-prone groups of users: the low hitters, who, like
participants in the baseline study, made missing just
below errors, and the high hitters, who, in contrast,
had difficulty with errors on the item above. All but
one of the older participants fell into one of these
error-prone groups, reinforcing that older users do
need better support for selecting menu items with a
pen. Preliminary analysis of the performance data
suggests both of our approaches were beneficial for the
low hitters, but that additional techniques are needed
to meet the needs of the high hitters and to address
the challenge of supporting both groups in a single
interface.",

error-free training. Younger and older participants
made fewer mistakes in guided error training, but no
differences occurred in task completion times.
Moreover, self-efficacy increased with training for
both age groups, but no significant differences were

search-select-modify-maintain the AAC aid. ITHACA
provides programmers with a set of tools and reusable
Open Source code for building AAC software components.
It also facilitates AAC product vendors to put together
sophisticated applications using the available on the
Web, independently premanufactured, free or commercial
software parts. Furthermore, it provides people who use
AAC with a variety of compatible AAC software products
which incorporate multimodal, user-tailored interfaces
that can fulfill their changing needs. The ITHACA
architecture and the proposed fusion of past and
current approaches, trends and technologies are
explained. ITHACA has been successfully applied by
implementing a family of AAC products, based on
interchangeable components. Several ready to use
ITHACA-based components, including on-screen keyboards,
Text-to-Speech, symbol selection sets, e-chatting,
emailing, and scanning-based input, as well as four
complete communication aids addressing different user
cases have been developed. This demonstration showed
good acceptance of the ITHACA applications and
substantial improvement of the end users' communication
skills. Developers' experience on working in ITHACA's
Open Source projects was also positively evaluated.
More importantly, the potential contribution of the
component-based framework and Open Source development
model combination to the AAC community emerged.",

65+) support in their daily lives, but older adults
often find such devices difficult to learn and use. One
potential design approach to improve the learnability
of mobile devices is a Multi-Layered (ML) interface,
where novice users start with a reduced-functionality
interface layer that only allows them to perform basic
tasks, before progressing to a more complex interface
layer when they are comfortable. We studied the effects
of a ML interface on older adults' performance in
learning tasks on a mobile device. We conducted a
controlled experiment with 16 older (ages 65--81) and
16 younger participants (age 21--36), who performed
tasks on either a 2-layer or a nonlayered (control)
address book application, implemented on a commercial
smart phone. We found that the ML interface's
Reduced-Functionality layer, compared to the control's
Full-Functionality layer, better helped users to master
a set of basic tasks and to retain that ability 30
minutes later. When users transitioned from the
Reduced-Functionality to the Full-Functionality
interface layer, their performance on the previously
learned tasks was negatively affected, but no negative
impact was found on learning new, advanced tasks.
Overall, the ML interface provided greater benefit for
older participants than for younger participants in
terms of task completion time during initial learning,
perceived complexity, and preference. We discuss how
the ML interface approach is suitable for improving the
learnability of mobile applications, particularly for
older adults.",

Unfortunately, they require a time-consuming and

This article describes the design and evaluation of a
new calibration protocol for motion-capture gloves,
which is designed to make the process more efficient
and to be accessible for participants who are deaf and
use American Sign Language (ASL). The protocol was
evaluated experimentally; deaf ASL signers wore the
gloves, were calibrated (using the new protocol and
using a calibration routine provided by the glove
manufacturer), and were asked to perform sequences of
ASL handshapes. Five native ASL signers rated the
correctness and understandability of the collected
handshape data. In an additional evaluation, ASL
signers were asked to perform ASL stories while wearing
the gloves and a motion-capture bodysuit (in some cases
our new calibration protocol was used, in other cases,
the standard protocol). Later, twelve native ASL
signers watched animations produced from this
motion-capture data and answered comprehension
questions about the stories. In both evaluation
studies, the new protocol received significantly higher
scores than the standard calibration. The protocol has
been made freely available online, and it includes
directions for the researcher, images and videos of how
participants move their hands during the process, and

Various speech-based navigation techniques have been

grid-based navigation has demonstrated both potential
and limitations. In this article, we discuss an
empirical study that assessed the efficacy of two
enhancements to grid-based navigation: magnification
and fine-tuning. The magnification capability enlarges
the selected region when it becomes sufficiently small,
making it easier to see the target and cursor. The
fine-tuning capability allows users to move the cursor
short distances to position the cursor over the target.
The study involved one group of participants with
physical disabilities, an age-matched group of
participants without disabilities, and a third group
that included young adults without disabilities. The
results confirm that both magnification and fine-tuning
significantly improved the participants' performance
when selecting targets, especially small targets.
Providing either, or both, of the proposed enhancements
substantially reduced the gaps in performance due to
disability and age. The results will inform the design
of speech-based target selection mechanism, allowing
users to select targets faster while making fewer
errors.",

approximately one hour a day, five days a week. Over
the six weeks, she recovered significant motor
abilities, which is unexpected given the time since her
stroke. We explore detecting such improvements early,
using game logs for daily measurements of motor ability
to complement the standard measurements that are taken
less often. Through observations and interviews, we

This article describes and evaluates a novel method for

apply this technique to ASL inflecting verbs, common
signs in which the location and orientation of the
hands is influenced by the arrangement of locations in
3D space that represent entities under discussion. We
train mathematical models of hand movement on animation
data of signs produced by a native signer. In
evaluation studies with native ASL signers, the verb
animations synthesized from our model had similar
subjective-rating and comprehension-question scores to
animations produced by a human animator; they also
achieved higher scores than baseline animations.
Further, we examine a split modeling technique for
accommodating certain verb signs with complex movement
patterns, and we conduct an analysis of how robust our
modeling techniques are to reductions in the size of
their training data. The modeling techniques in this
article are applicable to other types of ASL signs and
to other sign languages used internationally. Our
models' parameterization of sign animations can
increase the repertoire of generation systems and can
partially automate the work of humans using sign

separate testing into both ``Machine'' and ``Human''
audits; and further classify ``Human Testability'' into
``Reliably Human Testable'' and ``Not Reliably
Testable''; it is human testability that is the focus
of this paper. We wanted to investigate the likelihood
that ``at least 80\% of knowledgeable human evaluators
would agree on the conclusion'' of an accessibility
audit, and therefore understand the percentage of
success criteria that could be described as reliably
human testable, and those that could not. In this case,
we recruited twenty-five experienced evaluators to
audit four pages for WCAG 2.0 conformance. These pages
were chosen to differ in layout, complexity, and
accessibility support, thereby creating a small but
variable sample. We found that an 80\% agreement
between experienced evaluators almost never occurred
and that the average agreement was at the 70--75\%
mark, while the error rate was around 29\%. Further,
trained-but novice-evaluators performing the same
audits exhibited the same agreement to that of our more
experienced ones, but a reduction on validity of
6--13\% ; the validity that an untrained user would
attain can only be a conjecture. Expertise appears to
improve (by 19\%) the ability to avoid false positives.
Finally, pooling the results of two independent
experienced evaluators would be the best option,
capturing at most 76\% of the true problems and
producing only 24\% of false positives. Any other
independent combination of audits would achieve worse
results. This means that an 80\% target for agreement,
when audits are conducted without communication between
evaluators, is not attainable, even with experienced
evaluators, when working on pages similar to the ones
used in this experiment; that the error rate even for
experienced evaluators is relatively high and further,
that untrained accessibility auditors be they
developers or quality testers from other domains, would
do much worse than this.",

abstract = "Color is commonly used to represent categories and
values in computer applications, but users with
Color-Vision Deficiencies (CVD) often have difficulty
differentiating these colors. Recoloring tools have
been developed to address the problem, but current
recolorers are limited in that they work from a model
of only one type of congenital CVD (i.e.,
dichromatism). This model does not adequately describe
many other forms of CVD (e.g., more common congenital
deficiencies such as anomalous trichromacy, acquired
deficiencies such as cataracts or age-related yellowing
of the lens, or temporary deficiencies such as wearing
tinted glasses or working in bright sunlight), and so
standard recolorers work poorly in many situations. In
this article we describe an alternate approach that can
address these limitations. The new approach, called
Situation-Specific Modeling (SSM), constructs a model
of a specific user's color differentiation abilities in
a specific situation, and uses that model as the basis
for recoloring digital presentations. As a result, SSM
can inherently handle all types of CVD, whether
congenital, acquired, or environmental. In this article
we describe and evaluate several models that are based
on the SSM approach. Our first model of individual
color differentiation (called ICD-1) works in RGB color
space, and a user study showed it to be accurate and
robust (both for users with and without congenital
CVD). However, three aspects of ICD-1 were identified
as needing improvement: the calibration step needed to
build the situation-specific model, and the prediction
steps used in recoloring were too slow for real-world
use; and the results of the model's predictions were
too coarse for some uses. We therefore developed three
further techniques: ICD-2 reduces the time needed to
calibrate the model; ICD-3 reduces the time needed to
make predictions with the model; and ICD-4 provides
additional information about the degree of
differentiability in a prediction. Our final result is
a model of the user's color perception that handles any
type of CVD, can be calibrated in two minutes, and can
find replacement colors in near-real time ($^~$ 1
second for a 64-color image). The ICD models provide a
tool that can greatly improve the perceptibility of
digital color for many different types of CVD users,
and also demonstrates situation-specific modeling as a
new approach that can broaden the applicability of
assistive technology.",

The scene is a room with a box containing geometrical

applications were evaluated in four schools with groups
of two sighted and one visually impaired pupil. The
results showed the support for the visually impaired
pupil and for the collaboration to be satisfying. A

crucial for the work process but haptic guiding to some

click on. This article presents two studies of target
expansion with older and younger participants,
involving multidirectional point-select tasks with a

expanding targets, and Study 2 compares static targets
with three alternative techniques for expansion.
Results show that expansion can improve times by up to
14\%, and reduce error rates by up to 50\%.
Additionally, expanding targets are beneficial even
when the expansion happens late in the movement, that
is, after the cursor has reached the expanded target
area or even after it has reached the original target
area. The participants' subjective feedback on the
target expansion are generally favorable, and this
lends further support for the technique.",

abstract = "Young people with severe physical disabilities may
benefit greatly from participating in immersive
computer games. In-game tasks can be fun, engaging,
educational, and socially interactive. But for those
who are unable to use traditional methods of computer
input such as a mouse and keyboard, there is a barrier
to interaction that they must first overcome. Eye-gaze
interaction is one method of input that can potentially
achieve the levels of interaction required for these
games. How we use eye-gaze or the gaze interaction
technique depends upon the task being performed, the
individual performing it, and the equipment available.
To fully realize the impact of participation in these
environments, techniques need to be adapted to the
person's abilities. We describe an approach to
designing and adapting a gaze interaction technique to
support locomotion, a task central to immersive game
playing. This is evaluated by a group of young people
with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. The results
show that by adapting the interaction technique,
participants are able to significantly improve their
in-game character control.",

synthesize computer animations of sign language; such
animations have accessibility benefits for people who
are deaf and have lower literacy in written languages.
The field has not yet formed a consensus as to how to
best conduct evaluations of the quality of sign
language animations, and this article explores an
important methodological issue for researchers
conducting experimental studies with participants who
are deaf. Traditionally, when evaluating an animation,
some lower and upper baselines are shown for comparison
during the study. For the upper baseline, some
researchers use carefully produced animations, and
others use videos of human signers. Specifically, this
article investigates, in studies where signers view
animations of sign language and are asked subjective
and comprehension questions, whether participants
differ in their subjective and comprehension responses
when actual videos of human signers are shown during
the study. Through three sets of experiments, we
characterize how the Likert-scale subjective judgments
of participants about sign language animations are
negatively affected when they are also shown videos of
human signers for comparison --- especially when
displayed side-by-side. We also identify a small
positive effect on the comprehension of sign language
animations when studies also contain videos of human
signers. Our results enable direct comparison of
previously published evaluations of sign language
animations that used different types of upper baselines
--- video or animation. Our results also provide
methodological guidance for researchers who are
designing evaluation studies of sign language animation
or designing experimental stimuli or questions for
participants who are deaf.",

problem that makes real-time captioning difficult:
sequential keyboard typing is much slower than
speaking. We first surveyed the audio characteristics
of 240 one-hour-long captioned lectures on YouTube,
such as speed and duration of speaking bursts. We then
analyzed how these characteristics impact caption
generation and readability, considering specifically
our human-powered collaborative captioning approach. We
note that most of these characteristics are also
present in more general domains. For our caption
comparison evaluation, we transcribed a classroom
lecture in real-time using all three captioning
approaches. We recruited 48 participants (24 DHH) to
watch these classroom transcripts in an eye-tracking
laboratory. We presented these captions in a
randomized, balanced order. We show that both hearing
and DHH participants preferred and followed
collaborative captions better than those generated by
automatic speech recognition (ASR) or professionals due
to the more consistent flow of the resulting captions.
These results show the potential to reliably capture

for generating ``enhanced'' captions, unlike other

techniques for identifying SL videos in such

series of queries were issued to YouTube to locate SL
videos on the top 10 news stories of 2011 according to
Yahoo!. Overall precision for the first page of results
(up to 20 results) was 42\%. An approach for
automatically detecting SL video is then presented.
Five video features considered likely to be of value
were developed using standard background modeling and
face detection. The article compares the results of an
SVM classifier when given all permutations of these
five features. The results show that a measure of the
symmetry of motion relative to the face position
provided the best performance of any single feature.
When tested against a challenging test collection that
included many likely false positives, an SVM provided
with all five features achieved 82\% precision and 90\%
recall. In contrast, the text-based search (queries
with the topic terms and ``ASL'' or ``sign language'')
returned a significant portion of non-SL
content---nearly half of all videos found. By our
estimates, the application of video-based filtering
techniques such as the one proposed here would increase
precision from 42\% for text-based queries up to
75\%.",

and intellectual disabilities tend to have problems in
coordinating steps in the execution of Activities of
Daily Living (ADLs) due to limited capabilities in
cognitive functioning. To successfully perform ADLs,
these people are reliant on the assistance of human
caregivers. This leads to a decrease of independence
for care recipients and imposes a high burden on
caregivers. Assistive Technology for Cognition (ATC)
aims to compensate for decreased cognitive functions.
ATC systems provide automatic assistance in task
execution by delivering appropriate prompts which
enable the user to perform ADLs without any assistance
of a human caregiver. This leads to an increase of the
user's independence and to a relief of caregiver's
burden. In this article, we describe the design,
development and evaluation of a novel ATC system. The
TEBRA (TEeth BRushing Assistance) system supports
people with moderate cognitive disabilities in the
execution of brushing teeth. A main requirement for the
acceptance of ATC systems is context awareness:
explicit feedback from the user is not necessary to
provide appropriate assistance. Furthermore, an ATC
system needs to handle spatial and temporal variance in
the execution of behaviors such as different movement
characteristics and different velocities. The TEBRA
system handles spatial variance in a behavior
recognition component based on a Bayesian network
classifier. A dynamic timing model deals with temporal
variance by adapting to different velocities of users
during a trial. We evaluate a fully functioning
prototype of the TEBRA system in a study with people
with cognitive disabilities. The main aim of the study
is to analyze the technical performance of the system
and the user's behavior in the interaction with the
system with regard to the main hypothesis: is the TEBRA
system able to increase the user's independence in the

physical landmarks to help locate and verify bus stop
locations (e.g., by searching for an expected shelter,
bench, or newspaper bin). However, there are currently
few, if any, methods to determine this information a
priori via computational tools or services. In this
article, we introduce and evaluate a new scalable
method for collecting bus stop location and landmark
descriptions by combining online crowdsourcing and
Google Street View (GSV). We conduct and report on
three studies: (i) a formative interview study of 18
people with visual impairments to inform the design of
our crowdsourcing tool, (ii) a comparative study
examining differences between physical bus stop audit
data and audits conducted virtually with GSV, and (iii)
an online study of 153 crowd workers on Amazon
Mechanical Turk to examine the feasibility of
crowdsourcing bus stop audits using our custom tool
with GSV. Our findings reemphasize the importance of
landmarks in nonvisual navigation, demonstrate that GSV
is a viable bus stop audit dataset, and show that
minimally trained crowd workers can find and identify
bus stop landmarks with 82.5\% accuracy across 150 bus
stop locations (87.3\% with simple quality control).",

While motion-based video games have demonstrated great
potential of encouraging physical activity among
nondisabled players, the accessibility of motion-based
games is limited for persons with mobility
disabilities, thus also limiting access to the
potential health benefits of playing these games. In
our work, we address this issue through the design of
wheelchair-accessible motion-based game controls. We
present KINECT$^{\rm Wheels}$, a toolkit designed to
integrate wheelchair movements into motion-based games.
Building on the toolkit, we developed Cupcake Heaven, a
wheelchair-based video game designed for older adults
using wheelchairs, and we created Wheelchair
Revolution, a motion-based dance game that is
accessible to both persons using wheelchairs and
nondisabled players. Evaluation results show that
KINECT$^{\rm Wheels}$ can be applied to make
motion-based games wheelchair-accessible, and that
wheelchair-based games engage broad audiences in

the wheelchair as an enabling technology in games, our

technique to assess pronunciation in the context of
several types of speech disorders. Even if such tools
already exist, they are more widely used in a different
context, namely, Computer-Assisted Language Learning,
in which the objective is to assess nonnative
pronunciation by detecting learners' mispronunciations
at segmental and/or suprasegmental levels. In our work,
we sought to determine if the Goodness of Pronunciation
(GOP) algorithm, which aims to detect phone-level
mispronunciations by means of automatic speech
recognition, could also detect segmental deviances in
disordered speech. Our main experiment is an analysis
of speech from people with unilateral facial palsy.
This pathology may impact the realization of certain
phonemes such as bilabial plosives and sibilants.
Speech read by 32 speakers at four different clinical
severity grades was automatically aligned and GOP
scores were computed for each phone realization. The
highest scores, which indicate large dissimilarities
with standard phone realizations, were obtained for the
most severely impaired speakers. The corresponding
speech subset was manually transcribed at phone level;
8.3\% of the phones differed from standard
pronunciations extracted from our lexicon. The GOP
technique allowed the detection of 70.2\% of
mispronunciations with an equal rate of about 30\% of
false rejections and false acceptances. Finally, to
broaden the scope of the study, we explored the
correlation between GOP values and speech
comprehensibility scores on a second corpus, composed
of sentences recorded by six people with speech
impairments due to cancer surgery or neurological
disorders. Strong correlations were achieved between
GOP scores and subjective comprehensibility scores
(about 0.7 absolute). Results from both experiments
tend to validate the use of GOP to measure speech
capability loss, a dimension that could be used as a
complement to physiological measures in pathologies
causing speech disorders.",

the acoustic analysis of speech productions exhibiting

required to manage interperson variability, considering
speakers with the same condition or across different
conditions. In this context, this article investigates
automatic speech processing approaches dedicated to the
detection and localization of abnormal acoustic
phenomena in speech signal produced by people with
speech disorders. This automatic process aims at
enhancing the manual investigation of human experts
while at the same time reducing the extent of their
intervention by calling their attention to specific
parts of the speech considered as atypical from an
acoustical point of view. Two different approaches are
proposed in this article. The first approach models
only the normal speech, whereas the second models both
normal and dysarthric speech. Both approaches are
evaluated following two strategies: one consists of a
strict phone comparison between a human annotation of
abnormal phones and the automatic output, while the
other uses a ``one-phone delay'' for the comparison.
The experimental evaluation of both approaches for the
task of detecting acoustic anomalies was conducted on
two different corpora composed of French dysarthric
speakers and control speakers. These approaches obtain
very encouraging results and their potential for
clinical uses with different types of dysarthria and

of speech communications for most people. However, it
is the primary mechanism of communications for some
speakers who have impaired voice production mechanisms,
such as partial laryngectomees, as well as for those
prescribed voice rest, which often follows surgery or
damage to the larynx. Unlike most people, who choose
when to whisper and when not to, these speakers may
have little choice but to rely on whispers for much of
their daily vocal interaction. Even though most
speakers will whisper at times, and some speakers can
only whisper, the majority of today's computational
speech technology systems assume or require phonated
speech. This article considers conversion of whispers
into natural-sounding phonated speech as a noninvasive
prosthetic aid for people with voice impairments who
can only whisper. As a by-product, the technique is
also useful for unimpaired speakers who choose to
whisper. Speech reconstruction systems can be
classified into those requiring training and those that
do not. Among the latter, a recent parametric
reconstruction framework is explored and then enhanced
through a refined estimation of plausible pitch from
weighted formant differences. The improved
reconstruction framework, with proposed formant-derived
artificial pitch modulation, is validated through
subjective and objective comparison tests alongside
state-of-the-art alternatives.",

mismatching of phonemes between input signals and

gestures through observation (e.g., of other users or
video tutorials), such mechanisms are inaccessible for
users with visual impairments. As a result, learning to
perform gestures without visual feedback can be
challenging. We propose and evaluate two techniques to
teach touchscreen gestures to users with visual
impairments: (1) gesture sonification to generate sound
based on finger touches, creating an audio
representation of a gesture; and (2) corrective verbal
feedback that combined automatic analysis of the user's
drawn gesture with speech feedback. To refine and
evaluate the techniques, we conducted three controlled
laboratory studies. The first study, with 12 sighted
participants, compared parameters for sonifying
gestures in an eyes-free scenario. We identified
pitch+stereo panning as the best combination. In the
second study, ten blind and low-vision participants
completed gesture replication tasks for single-stroke,
multistroke, and multitouch gestures using the gesture
sonification feedback. We found that multistroke
gestures were more difficult to understand in
sonification, but that playing each finger sound
serially may improve understanding. In the third study,
six blind and low-vision participants completed gesture
replication tasks with both the sonification and
corrective verbal feedback techniques. Subjective data
and preliminary performance findings indicated that the
techniques offer complementary advantages: although
verbal feedback was preferred overall primarily due to
the precision of its instructions, almost all
participants appreciated the sonification for certain
situations (e.g., to convey speed). This article
extends our previous publication on gesture
sonification by extending these techniques to
multistroke and multitouch gestures. These findings
provide a foundation for nonvisual training systems for
touchscreen gestures.",

changed the way that people consume information and has
impacted the consumption of auditory information.
Despite this recent popularity among sighted people,
the use of auditory feedback to access digital
information is not new for visually impaired users.
However, its sequential nature undermines both blind
and sighted people's ability to efficiently find
relevant information in the midst of several
potentially useful items. We propose taking advantage
of the Cocktail Party Effect, which states that people
are able to focus on a single speech source among
several conversations, but still identify relevant
content in the background. Therefore, in contrast to
one sequential speech channel, we hypothesize that
people can leverage concurrent speech channels to
quickly get the gist of digital information. In this
article, we present an experiment with 46 (23 blind, 23
sighted) participants, which aims to understand
people's ability to search for relevant content
listening to two, three, or four concurrent speech
channels. Our results suggest that both blind and
sighted people are able to process concurrent speech in
scanning scenarios. In particular, the use of two
concurrent sources may be used both to identify and
understand the content of the relevant sentence.
Moreover, three sources may be used for most people
depending on the task intelligibility demands and user
characteristics. Contrasting with related work, the use
of different voices did not affect the perception of
concurrent speech but was highly preferred by
participants. To complement the analysis, we propose a
set of scenarios that may benefit from the use of
concurrent speech sources, for both blind and sighted
people, toward a Design for All paradigm.",

wearables such as watches and glasses, personal
interactive device use is increasingly visible and
commonplace in public and social spaces. Assistive
Technologies (ATs) used by people with disabilities are
observable to others and, as a result, can affect how
AT users are perceived. This raises the possibility
that what we call ``social accessibility'' may be as
important as ``functional accessibility'' when
considering ATs. But, to date, ATs have almost
exclusively been regarded as functional aids. For
example, ATs are defined by the Technical Assistance to
the States Act as technologies that are ``used to
increase, maintain or improve functional capabilities
of individuals with disabilities.'' To investigate
perceptions and self-perceptions of AT users, we
conducted a diary study of two groups of participants:
people with disabilities and people without
disabilities. Our goal was to explore the types of
interactions and perceptions that arise around AT use
in social and public spaces. During our 4-week study,
participants with sensory disabilities wrote about
feeling either self-conscious or self-confident when
using an assistive device in a social or public
situation. Meanwhile, participants without disabilities
were prompted to record their reactions and feelings
whenever they saw ATs used in social or public
situations. We found that AT form and function does
influence social interactions by impacting
self-efficacy and self-confidence. When the design of
form or function is poor, or when inequality between
technological accessibility exists, social inclusion is
negatively affected, as are perceptions of ability. We
contribute a definition for the ``social
accessibility'' of ATs and subsequently offer Design
for Social Accessibility (DSA) as a holistic design
stance focused on balancing an AT user's sociotechnical
identity with functional requirements.",

communication currently requires access to and the
ability to use an Internet-connected computer or

present work leverages the pervasive hardware of
traditional phones and familiar nonvisual models of

e-mail interaction via traditional phones through
long-term field observations, prototype testing, and a
four-week field-based user study. Our findings indicate
that a simple voice e-mail interface accessed through
traditional phones is usable for older adults and is a
useful way for offline older adults to interact with an
e-mail account. The ease of use and convenience of a
phone-based interface are important given the ``work''
of keeping in touch over e-mail, and this approach has
the potential to open up new avenues of online access
for older adults who are still offline or who have

addressed by the coarticulation effect, the sign
transition in continuous SLR is far from being clear

Leveraging upon hidden Markov modeling techniques from
ASR, we proposed a modeling framework for continuous
SLR having the following major advantages, namely: (i)
the system is easy to scale up to large-vocabulary SLR;
(ii) modeling of signs as well as the transitions
between signs is robust even for noisy data collected
in real-world SLR; and (iii) extensions to training,
decoding, and adaptation are directly applicable even
with new deep learning algorithms. A pair of low-cost
digital gloves affordable for the deaf and hard of
hearing community is used to collect a collection of
training and testing data for real-world SLR
interaction applications. Evaluated on 1,024 testing
sentences from five signers, a word accuracy rate of
87.4\% is achieved using a vocabulary of 510 words. The
SLR speed is in real time, requiring an average of

This article presents a tablet-based application for
activity schedules that has been designed following a
participatory design approach involving mainstream
teachers, special education teachers, and school aides.
This application addresses two domains of activities:
classroom routines and verbal communications. We
assessed the efficiency of our application with two
overlapping user studies in mainstream inclusion,
sharing a group of children with ASD. The first
experiment involved 10 children with ASD, where five
children were equipped with our tabled-based
application and five were not equipped. We show that
(1) the use of the application is rapidly
self-initiated (after 2 months for almost all the
participants) and (2) the tablet-supported routines are
better performed after 3 months of intervention. The
second experiment involved 10 children equipped with
our application; it shared the data collected for the
five children with ASD and compared them with data
collected for five children with intellectual
disability (ID). We show that (1) children with ID are
not autonomous in the use of the application at the end
of the intervention, (2) both groups exhibited the same
benefits on classroom routines, and (3) children with
ID improve significantly less their performance on
verbal communication routines. These results are
discussed in relation with our design principles.
Importantly, the inclusion of a group with another
neurodevelopmental condition provided insights about
the applicability of these principles beyond the target
population of children with ASD.",

We initially conducted a formative study exploring the

populations with varying ability, including individuals
with cognitive, motor, and visual impairments. We found
that 3D design and printing perform three functions in
special education: (1) STEM engagement, (2) creation of
educational aids for accessible curriculum content, and
(3) making custom adaptive devices. As part of our
formative work, we also discussed a case study in the
codesign of an assistive hand grip created with
occupational therapists at one of our investigation
sites. This work inspired further studies on the
creation of adaptive devices using 3D printers. We
identified the needs and constraints of these
therapists and found implications for a specialized 3D
modeling tool to support their use of 3D printers. We
developed GripFab, 3D modeling software based on
feedback from therapists, and used it to explore the
feasibility of in-house 3D object designs in support of
accessibility. Our contributions include case studies
at three special education sites and discussion of
obstacles to efficient 3D printing in this context. We

studies. We have expanded our discussion to include

finger-based reading approaches that provide blind and

mobile phone applications, mounting a tiny camera on
the user's own finger has the potential to mitigate
camera framing issues, enable a blind reader to better
understand the spatial layout of a document, and
provide better control over reading pace. A
finger-based approach, however, also introduces the
need to guide the reader in physically navigating a
document, such as tracing along lines of text. While
previous work has proposed audio and haptic directional
finger guidance for this purpose, user studies of
finger-based reading have not provided an in-depth
performance analysis of the finger-based reading
process. To further investigate the effectiveness of
finger-based sensing and feedback for reading printed
text, we conducted a controlled laboratory experiment
with 19 blind participants, comparing audio and haptic
directional finger guidance within an iPad-based
testbed. As a small follow-up, we asked four of those
participants to return and provide feedback on a
preliminary wearable prototype called HandSight.
Findings from the controlled experiment show similar
performance between haptic and audio directional
guidance, although audio may offer an accuracy
advantage for tracing lines of text. Subjective
feedback also highlights trade-offs between the two
types of guidance, such as the interference of audio
guidance with speech output and the potential for
desensitization to haptic guidance. While several

important concerns also arose about ease of use and the
amount of concentration required. We close with a

abstract = "The dominance of computer technology in work and
leisure poses challenges for older people. Their lack
of computer experience and computer literacy impedes
their ability to explore and use new interactive
systems. This is particularly challenging for the
design of public access systems, such as ticket vending
machines (TVM). This article describes a conflict
relevant for many designers considering age-related
differences in technology use: should the user be
taught to use the existing design or should the design
be changed to accommodate older users? An experiment
was conducted to directly compare these alternative
approaches with each other and with a simulation of an
existing TVM. It compares three TVM designs regarding
the usability criteria of effectiveness, efficiency and
satisfaction, controlling for age, and cognitive and
motivational characteristics. 62 older (M = 68 years)
and 62 younger (M = 25 years) participants were split
into three groups: The control group solved 11 tasks
using a simulation of the TVM, the video group watched
a brief instructional video before solving the same
tasks with the same TVM, and the wizard group used a
redesigned wizard interface instead. Results indicate
that young and old participants' performance improved
after watching the video, but older participants
improved more, reaching the effectiveness of the young
control group. In the wizard condition, age differences
in effectiveness and satisfaction were eliminated;
however, speed differences remained in all conditions.
The results suggest that the simple integration of
minimal video instruction or a task-oriented wizard
design can make public access systems truly universally
usable, and that the wizard TVM was a true
``walk-up-and-use system.''",

of AT is insufficient to ensure its successful

traditional panning or zooming techniques due to

constraints of the haptic field of view and
disorientation due to loss of one's reference point
after performing these operations). This article
describes the development of four novel non-visual

consideration of these perceptual and cognitive
constraints. Two studies evaluated the usability of
these panning methods in comparison with a non-panning

exploration, learning, and subsequent spatial behaviors
were similar between panning and non-panning
conditions, with one panning mode, based on a
two-finger drag technique, revealing the overall best
performance. Findings provide compelling evidence that

within their borders while traversing them is a crucial
part of any trip involving street crossings. While
standard Orientation 8 Mobility (O8M) techniques allow
blind travelers to safely negotiate street crossings,
additional information about crosswalks and other
important features at intersections would be helpful in
many situations, resulting in greater safety and/or
comfort during independent travel. For instance, in
planning a trip a blind pedestrian may wish to be
informed of the presence of all marked crossings near a
desired route. We have conducted a survey of several
O8M experts from the United States and Italy to
determine the role that crosswalks play in travel by
blind pedestrians. The results show stark differences
between survey respondents from the U.S. compared with
Italy: the former group emphasized the importance of
following standard O{\&}M techniques at all legal
crossings (marked or unmarked), while the latter group
strongly recommended crossing at marked crossings
whenever possible. These contrasting opinions reflect
differences in the traffic regulations of the two
countries and highlight the diversity of needs that
travelers in different regions may have. To address the
challenges faced by blind pedestrians in negotiating
street crossings, we devised a computer vision--based
technique that mines existing spatial image databases
for discovery of zebra crosswalks in urban settings.
Our algorithm first searches for zebra crosswalks in
satellite images; all candidates thus found are
validated against spatially registered Google Street
View images. This cascaded approach enables fast and
reliable discovery and localization of zebra crosswalks
in large image datasets. While fully automatic, our
algorithm can be improved by a final crowdsourcing

new parents of deaf children benefit from technologies
to support learning ASL. As part of a long-term project
to design a tool to automatically analyze a video of a
students' signing and provide immediate feedback about
fluent and non-fluent aspects of their movements, we
conducted a study to compare multiple methods of
conveying feedback to ASL students, using videos of
their signing. Through two user studies, with a
Wizard-of-Oz design, we compared multiple types of
feedback in regard to users' subjective judgments of
system quality and the degree students' signing
improved (as judged by an ASL instructor who analyzed
recordings of students' signing before and after they
viewed each type of feedback). The initial study
revealed that displaying videos to students of their
signing, augmented with feedback messages about their
errors or correct ASL usage, yielded higher subjective
scores and greater signing improvement. Students gave
higher subjective scores to a version in which
time-synchronized pop-up messages appeared overlaid on
the student's video to indicate errors or correct ASL
usage. In a subsequent study, we found that providing
images of correct ASL face and hand movements when
providing feedback yielded even higher subjective
evaluation scores from ASL students using the system.",

to individuals with developmental disabilities, from
enhancing social, motor and cognitive skills to

Together with Tamana, an NGO in New Delhi, we have been
conducting a series of exploratory user studies since
October 2013. This includes the design and evaluation
of three gesture-based applications to impart social
and life skills to individuals with developmental
disabilities. The Kirana application employs socially
appropriate gestures to teach the life skill of buying
day-to-day items from a local Indian grocery. Balloons
promotes joint attention skills through collaborative
interaction. HOPE improves motor coordination and
social and cognitive skills, with increasing levels of
difficulty. Based on studies with these applications,
this article presents guidelines for designing
gesture-based applications for individuals with
developmental disabilities. The guidelines focus on (a)
designing applications that cater to a larger group of
individuals to encourage collaboration and inclusion,
for instance, providing easy and controllable
transitions between different task levels, and
balancing interaction and content complexity; (b)
addressing the challenges in conducting research in
this domain, with respect to ethical and procedural
decisions; and (c) designing for technology acceptance
within the Indian context, for example, by following a
collaborative and stakeholder inclusive approach, and
addressing apprehensions towards technology adoption.
These guidelines aim to benefit other practitioners

transfer for blind people. The tactile exploration of
these graphics is often challenging because of the
cognitive load caused by physiological constraints and
their complexity. The coupling of physical tactile

tactile exploration by auditory feedback. Often, these
systems have strict constraints regarding their
mobility or the process of coupling both components.
Additionally, visually impaired people cannot
appropriately benefit from their residual vision. This
article presents a concept for 3D printed tactile
graphics, which offers to use audio-tactile graphics
with usual smartphones or tablet-computers. By using
capacitive markers, the coupling of the tactile
graphics with the mobile device is simplified. These
tactile graphics integrating these markers can be
printed in one turn by off-the-shelf 3D printers
without any post-processing and allows us to use
multiple elevation levels for graphical elements. Based
on the developed generic concept on visually augmented
audio-tactile graphics, we presented a case study for
maps. A prototypical implementation was tested by a
user study with visually impaired people. All the
participants were able to interact with the 3D printed
tactile maps using a standard tablet computer. To study

abstract = "Basic arithmetic operations are essential skills
needed in our life, and this is no different for the
visually impaired. However, working arithmetic out on
paper is always a challenge for visually impaired
people. This situation is exacerbated by low-resource
settings due to a paucity of low-cost and easy-to-use
solutions. As a remedy to this situation, we propose a
low-cost and easy-to-use arithmetic learning framework
and draw a contrast between the conventional means of
solving arithmetic problems and our proposed framework.
Our proposal is engendered from comprehensive studies,
both qualitative and quantitative, over the challenges
faced by visually impaired children from two low-income
countries. These studies are conducted in three
phases-exploratory, descriptive, and
explanatory-involving six visually impaired children
and sixteen visually impaired grownups. User evaluation
of our framework, in disguise of a tutorial session,
confirms its acceptability and adaptability, along with
its effectiveness in evoking interest in arithmetic. We
believe that our study and proposed framework will help
in breaking barriers to similar challenges in other
developing regions across the border.",

schizophrenia (SZ), present throughout all stages of
this condition, and leads to poor social outcome.
However, the underlying mechanisms that give rise to
such deficits have not been elucidated and hence, it
has been difficult to develop precisely targeted
interventions. Evidence supports the use of methods
designed to modify patterns of visual attention in
individuals with SZ in order to effect meaningful
improvements in social cognition. To date, however,
attention-shaping systems have not fully utilized
available technology (e.g., eye tracking) to achieve
this goal. The current work consisted of the design and
feasibility testing of a novel gaze-sensitive social
skills intervention system called MASI-VR. Adults from
an outpatient clinic with confirmed SZ diagnosis ( n =
10) and a comparison sample of neurotypical
participants ( n = 10) were evaluated on measures of
emotion recognition and visual attention at baseline
assessment, and a pilot test of the intervention system
was evaluated on the SZ sample following five training
sessions over three weeks. Consistent with the `enlrg'
literature, participants in the SZ group demonstrated
lower recognition of faces showing medium intensity
fear, spent more time deliberating about presented
emotions, and had fewer fixations in comparison to
neurotypical peers. Furthermore, participants in the SZ
group showed significant improvement in the recognition
of fearful faces post-training. Preliminary evidence
supports the feasibility of a gaze-sensitive paradigm
for use in assessment and training of emotion
recognition and social attention in individuals with
SZ, thus warranting further evaluation of the novel

However, in contrast to the patterns previously found
with pen interaction, we found that miss error (i.e.,
both landing and lifting outside the target bounds) was
a more common source of errors for older adults than
slip error (i.e., landing on the target but slipping
outside the target bounds before lifting). Moreover,
aging influenced both miss and slip errors in our study
of touch interaction, whereas for pen interaction, age

accessibility guidelines of 479 Android apps in 23
business categories from Google Play. An automated
tool, IBM Mobile Accessibility Checker (MAC), was used
to identify the accessibility issues, which were
categorized as a violation (V), potential violation
(PV), or warning (W). The results showed 94.8\%,
97.5\%, and 66.4\% of apps studied contained issues
related to V, PV, or W, respectively. Five widget
categories (TextView, ImageView, View, Button, and
ImageButton) were used to create 92\% of the total
number of the GUI elements and caused 89\%, 78\%, and
86\% of V, PV, and W, respectively. These accessibility
issues were mainly caused by lack of element focus,
missing element description, low text color contrast,
lack of sufficient spacing between elements, and less
than minimum sizes of text fonts and elements.
Together, these accessibility issues accounted for
97.0\%, 77.8\%, and 94.5\% of V, PV, and W,
respectively. This study proposed coverage measures to
estimate the percentage of accessibility issues
identified by an automated tool. The result showed that
MAC, on average, identified about 67\% of accessibility
issues in mobile apps. Two new accessibility
conformance measures were proposed in this study:
inaccessible element rate (IAER) and accessibility
issue rate (AIR). IAER estimates the percentage of GUI
elements that are inaccessible. AIR calculates the
percentage of the actual number of accessibility issues
relative to the maximum number of accessibility issues.
Average IAER and AIR scores were 27.3\%, 19.9\%, 6.3\%
and 20.7\%, 15.0\%, 5.4\% for V, PV, and W,
respectively, for the studied apps. The IAER score
showed approximately 30\% of the GUI elements had

15\% of the accessibility issues remained and need to
be fixed to make the apps accessible.",

digital libraries of sign language content, being used
to store videos including the experiences, knowledge,

reducing their value to the community. Another result
is that community members frequently engage in a

community) rather than having access be based on the
information needs of community members. In prior work,
we have shown the potential to detect sign language

was developed with a focus on accuracy of results and
are quite computationally expensive, making it
unrealistic to apply them on a corpus the size of
YouTube or other large video sharing sites. Here, we
describe and examine the performance of optimizations
that reduce the cost of face detection and the length
of video segments processed. We show that optimizations
can reduce the computation time required by 96\%, while
losing only 1\% in F1 score. Further, a keyframe-based
approach is examined that removes the need to process
continuous video. This approach achieves comparable
recall but lower precision than the above techniques.
Merging the advantages of the optimizations, we also
present a staged classifier, where the keyframe

abstract = "Web designers use visual cues such as layout and
typography to make pages easier to navigate and
understand. Yet, screen readers generally ignore these
features and present page information in a linear audio
stream. We investigate whether transcoding the visual
semantics of grid-based layouts to tables supports
better navigation. In a controlled experiment,
participants navigated re-written pages significantly
faster when doing data synthesis tasks and more
accurately when looking up information meeting multiple
criteria. Participants rated their table navigation
experience better in terms of effort, memorization,
ease of navigation, understanding of page information,
and confidence in submitted answers. Participants
attributed these gains to the table structure's support
for (1) predictable audio presentation, (2) adopting an
appropriate search strategy, and (3) making sense of
page content. Contrary to the established belief that
tables are inaccessible, our results show that tables
can facilitate navigation when users need to synthesize
across page content.",

abstract = "Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects many people;
the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates
that 1 in 59 children are currently identified with ASD
in the United States. Although it is difficult to
generalize about people with ASD due to their
heterogeneity, many share an affinity for technologies;
as such, numerous academic endeavors and commercial
products have focused on the creation of interactive
technologies for ASD. In this article, we present
findings from 19 interviews and 230 surveys with
parents, teachers, and therapists who had children with
ASD in their care and had considered or used
interactive technologies with those children. We aimed
to understand how interactive technologies were used,
perceived, desired, and discovered. Findings of use and
perception included the following: participants had
tried a wide range of commercially available
technologies but had very few reported products in
common, products were limited to commercial
mobile-based apps, and apps were typically perceived
positively. In regard to desires, participants hoped
for future technologies on diverse platforms (e.g.,
robots, virtual reality) with more consideration given
to personalization, customization, and incorporation of
audio and video. Findings about discovery included the
following: participants chose technologies in an
information-poor environment, and although there are
many academic projects aimed at participants' desires,
no participants reported any experience working with
researchers. Implications of this study include the
need for a recommendation and information sharing
system to help people choose and discover appropriate
and effective interactive technologies that are a good
fit for their child. This work also pointed to a need
for such a system to include findings from lab
(experimental and usability) studies of commercially
available interactive technologies to provide measures
of efficacy and usability. Our envisioned system could
also potentially help academic researchers with
outreach to wider audiences.",

assistant system we developed specifically designed to
enable independent navigation for people with visual

commodity smartphone carried by the user, NavCog3
achieves unparalleled localization accuracy in
real-world large-scale scenarios. By leveraging its
accurate localization capabilities, NavCog3 guides the
user through the environment and signals the presence
of semantic features and points of interest in the
vicinity (e.g., doorways, shops). To assess the
capability of NavCog3 to promote independent mobility
of individuals with visual impairments, we deployed and
evaluated the system in two challenging real-world
scenarios. The first scenario demonstrated the
scalability of the system, which was permanently
installed in a five-story shopping mall spanning three
buildings and a public underground area. During the
study, 10 participants traversed three fixed routes,
and 43 participants traversed free-choice routes across
the environment. The second scenario validated the
system's usability in the wild in a hotel complex
temporarily equipped with NavCog3 during a conference
for individuals with visual impairments. In the hotel,
almost 14.2h of system usage data were collected from
37 unique users who performed 280 travels across the
environment, for a total of 30,200m traversed.",

assess caption content, we conducted a series of

worked together to discuss, create, and evaluate image
captions. By making captioning a collaborative task, we
were able to observe captioning strategies, to elicit

highlight known accessibility barriers to programming
faced by professional programmers and students with
visual impairments learning how to code as well as to
identify all solutions that have been proposed to
address these barriers. We selected and analyzed 70
papers reporting on accessibility of programming and
programming environments for people with visual
impairments. Numerous barriers to programming by people
with visual impairments have been identified in the
literature. Some of these barriers are understudied and
present opportunities for future work. A lot of studies
have also proposed tools and new accessible programming
languages to address the accessibility issues of
current programming languages and programming

abstract = "Data visualization has become an increasingly
important means of effective data communication and has
played a vital role in broadcasting the progression of
COVID-19. Accessible data representations, however,
have lagged behind, leaving areas of information out of
reach for many blind and visually impaired (BVI) users.
In this work, we sought to understand (1) the
accessibility of current implementations of
visualizations on the web; (2) BVI users' preferences
and current experiences when accessing data-driven
media; (3) how accessible data representations on the
web address these users' access needs and help them
navigate, interpret, and gain insights from the data;
and (4) the practical challenges that limit BVI users'
access and use of data representations. To answer these
questions, we conducted a mixed-methods study
consisting of an accessibility audit of 87 data
visualizations on the web to identify accessibility
issues, an online survey of 127 screen reader users to
understand lived experiences and preferences, and a
remote contextual inquiry with 12 of the survey
respondents to observe how they navigate, interpret,
and gain insights from accessible data representations.
Our observations during this critical period of time
provide an understanding of the widespread
accessibility issues encountered across online data
visualizations, the impact that data accessibility
inequities have on the BVI community, the ways screen
reader users sought access to data-driven information
and made use of online visualizations to form insights,
and the pressing need to make larger strides towards
improving data literacy, building confidence, and
enriching methods of access. Based on our findings, we
provide recommendations for researchers and
practitioners to broaden data accessibility on the
web.",

largely inaccessible to blind and visually impaired
readers because they are predominantly published as
untagged PDFs, which do not include the semantic data
necessary for effective accessibility. Equations in
such documents consist of text interlaced with lines
and other graphical elements and cannot be interpreted
using a screen reader. We present a browsing approach
for print-disabled readers specifically aimed at such
mathematical content. This approach draws on the
navigational mechanisms often used to explore the
virtual worlds of text adventure games with
audio-visual sensory substitution for graphical
content. The relative spatial placement of the elements
of an equation are represented as a virtual world so
the reader can navigate between elements. Text elements
are announced conventionally using synthesised speech,
while graphical elements, such as roots and fraction
lines, are rendered using a modification of the vOICe
algorithm. The virtual world allows the reader to
interactively discover the spatial structure of the
equation, while the rendition of graphical elements as
sound allows the shape and identity of elements that
cannot be synthesised as speech to be discovered and
recognised. The browsing approach was evaluated by 11
blind and 14 sighted participants in a user trial that
included identifying twelve equations extracted from
PDF documents. Overall, equations were identified
completely correctly in 78\% of cases (74\% and 83\%,
respectively, for blind and sighted subjects). If
partial correctness is considered, then the performance
is substantially higher. Feedback from the blind
subjects indicated that the technique allows spatial
information and graphical detail to be discovered. We
conclude that the integration of a spatial model
represented as a virtual world in conjunction with
audio-visual sensory substitution for non-textual
elements can be an effective way for blind and visually
impaired readers to read currently inaccessible
mathematical content in PDF documents.",

generating an AD narration track, and synchronizing it
with the main soundtrack. In our previous work (Campos
et al. [6]), we propose a solution for automatic AD
script generation, named CineAD, which uses the movie's
script as a basis for the AD generation. This article
proposes extending this solution to complement the
information extracted from the script and reduce its
dependency based on the classification of visual
information from the video. To assess the viability of
the proposed solution, we implemented a proof of
concept of the solution and evaluated it with 11 blind
users. The results showed that the solution could
generate a more succinct and objective AD but with a
similar users' level of understanding compared to our
previous work. Thus, the solution can provide relevant
information to blind users using less video time for
descriptions.",

blind users can download and install to enhance the
capabilities of their screen readers. This article aims
to understand why blind users use these plugins, as
well as how these plugins are developed, deployed, and
maintained. To this end, we conducted an interview
study with 14 blind users to gain individual
perspectives and analyzed 2,000 online posts scraped
from three plugin-related forums to gain the community
perspective. Our study revealed that screen reader
users rely on plugins for various reasons, such as to
improve the usability of screen readers and application
software, to make partially accessible applications
accessible, and to receive custom auditory feedback.
Furthermore, installing plugins is easy; uninstalling
them is unlikely; and finding them online is ad hoc,
challenging, and sometimes poses security threats. In
addition, developing screen reader plugins is
technically demanding; only a handful of people develop
plugins. Unfortunately, most plugins do not receive
updates once distributed and become obsolete. The lack
of financial incentives plays in the slow growth of the
plugin ecosystem. Further, we outlined the complex,
tripartite collaboration among individual blind users,
their online communities, and developer communities in
creating a plugin. Additionally, we reported several
phenomena within and between these communities that are
likely to influence a plugin's development. Based on
our findings, we recommend creating a community-driven
repository for all plugins hosted on a peer-to-peer
infrastructure, engaging third-party developers, and
raising general awareness about the benefits and
dangers of plugins. We believe our findings will
inspire HCI researchers to embrace the plugin-based
distribution model as an effective way to combat
accessibility and usability problems in non-visual
interaction and to investigate potential ways to
improve the collaboration between blind users and
developer communities.",
