Sight is essential for humans to navigate their surrounding environment independently. Tasks that are simple for the sighted are often close to impossible for the visually impaired. Throughout the years, many researchers dedicated their…
Computer-based tests (CBTs) play an important role in the professional career of any person. Universities use CBTs for admissions. Further, many large courses use CBTs for evaluation and grading. Almost all software companies use CBTs to…
Smart homes are becoming ubiquitous, but they are not Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliant. Smart homes equipped with ADA compliant appliances and services are critical for people with disabilities (i.e., visual impairments and…
Providing an equitable and inclusive user experience (UX) for people with disabilities (PWD) is a central goal of accessible design. In the specific case of Deaf users, whose hearing impairments impact language development and…
Modern collaborative Mixed Reality (MR) systems continue to break the boundaries of conventional co-located and remote collaboration and communication. They merge physical and virtual worlds and enable natural interaction, opening up a…
We explore ideas and inclusive practices for designing and testing child-centered artificially intelligent technologies for neurodivergent children. AI is promising for supporting social communication, self-regulation, and sensory…
This paper investigates integrating large language models (LLMs) with advanced hardware, focusing on developing a general-purpose device designed for enhanced interaction with LLMs. Initially, we analyze the current landscape, where virtual…
People with heavy physical impairment such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in a completely locked-in state (CLIS) suffer from inability to express their thoughts to others. To solve this problem, many brain-computer interface (BCI)…
Equal access to digital technologies is critical for education, employment, and social participation. However, mainstream interfaces are visually oriented, creating steep learning curves and frequent obstacles for screen reader users, and…
As digital social platforms and mobile technologies are becoming more prevalent and robust, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in facilitating human communication will grow. This, in turn, will pave the way for the development of…
Assistive machines endow people with limited mobility the opportunity to live more independently. However, operating these machines poses risks to the safety of the human operator as well as the surrounding environment. Thus, proper user…
Dementia is a mental illness that people live with all across the world. No one is immune. Nothing can predict its onset. The true story of dementia remains unknown globally, partly due to the denial of dementia symptoms and partly due to…
This article proposes to describe and compare the contributions of various techniques of evaluation of the accessibility of E-services carried out starting from (i) methods of inspection (on the basis of traditional ergonomic criteria and…
The increasing deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to inform decision making across diverse areas including healthcare, employment, social benefits, and government policy, presents a serious risk for disabled people, who have…
The well-being of older adults relies significantly on maintaining balance and mobility. As physical ability declines, older adults often accept the need for assistive devices. However, existing walkers frequently fail to consider user…
Since autistic children suffers from learning disabilities and communication barriers, this research aim to design, develop and evaluate an Android based mobile application (app) providing better learning environment with inclusion of…
In the era where personal devices and applications are pervasive, individuals are continuously generating and interacting with a vast amount of data. Despite this, access to and control over such data remains challenging due to its…
The success of employment is highly related to a job seeker's capability of communicating and collaborating with others. While leveraging one's network during the job-seeking process is intuitive to the neurotypical, this can be challenging…
Artificial intelligence systems are widely used by people with sensory disabilities, like loss of vision or hearing, to help perceive or navigate the world around them. This includes tasks like describing an image or object they cannot…
People with limited mobility in the U.S. (defined as having difficulty or inability to walk a quarter of a mile without help and without the use of special equipment) face a growing informational gap: while pedestrian routing algorithms are…
