Our work aims to develop new assistive technologies that enable blind or low vision (BLV) people to explore and analyze data readily. At present, barriers exist for BLV people to explore and analyze data, restricting access to government,…
Conversational search presents opportunities to support users in their search activities to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of search while reducing their cognitive load. Limitations of the potential competency of conversational…
Web accessibility is actually the most important aspect for providing access to information and interaction for people with disabilities. However, it seems that the ability of users with disabilities to navigate over the Web is not…
Human cognition is constrained by processing limitations, leading to cognitive overload and inefficiencies in knowledge synthesis and decision-making. Large Language Models (LLMs) present an opportunity for cognitive augmentation, but their…
The rapid growth of online video content has outpaced efforts to make visual information accessible to blind and low vision (BLV) audiences. While professional Audio Description (AD) remains the gold standard, it is costly and difficult to…
Accessibility of websites for visually impaired persons is mishandled by screen readers which are not always adapted to interactivity needed by actual web/multimedia technologies. This paper analyses the difficulties to access to…
Access to textual and visual information for visually impaired persons becomes very difficult with screen readers which are not adapted to different websites.This paper analyses the use of different technologies for access digital content…
This research paper addresses the limitations of current mobile accessibility services like TalkBack, which provide manual gesture-based sequential feedback to BVI users. Motivated by the promise of large language models (LLMs), this paper…
The analysis of the current integration attempts of some modes and use cases of user-machine interaction is presented. The new concept of the user-driven intelligent interface is proposed on the basis of multimodal augmented reality and…
As large language models (LLMs) demonstrate increasing competence in synthesizing functional user interfaces, a fundamental question emerges in accessibility computing: \textit{how far can AI-driven accessibility systems go?} This paper…
Data has transformative potential to empower people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). However, conventional data visualizations often rely on complex cognitive processes, and existing approaches for day-to-day analysis…
Creating webpages requires generating content and arranging layout while iteratively refining both to achieve a coherent design, a process that can be challenging for blind individuals. To understand how blind designers navigate this…
The trend towards mobile devices usage has put more than ever the Web as a ubiquitous platform where users perform all kind of tasks. In some cases, users access the Web with 'native' mobile applications developed for well-known sites, such…
Access to content and services online is increasingly important for everyone, including people with disabilities. National commitments, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, and international resolutions, including the United…
We propose that accessibility research can lay the foundation for technology that can be used to augment the perception of everyone. To show how this can be achieved, we present three case studies of our research in which we demonstrate our…
Over the past decade, considerable research has been directed towards assistive technologies to support people with vision impairments using machine learning, computer vision, image enhancement, and/or augmented/virtual reality. However,…
Accessibility of tables on websites for Visually Impaired Persons (VIP) is not optimal with screen readers which are not always effective for the recovery of visual information (2D). Actual Web/Multimedia technologies are not taking in…
Online shopping has become a valuable modern convenience, but blind or low vision (BLV) users still face significant challenges using it, because of: 1) inadequate image descriptions and 2) the inability to filter large amounts of…
With the recent focus in the accessibility field, researchers from academia and industry have been very active in developing innovative techniques and tools for assistive technology. Especially with handheld devices getting ever powerful…
People now frequently meet and develop relationships through online dating. Yet, due to their limited accessibility, utilizing dating services can be difficult and irritating for people with visual impairments. The significance of the…
