Mobile phones pervade our daily lives and play ever expanding roles in many contexts. Their ubiquitousness makes them pivotal in empowering disabled people. However, if no inclusive approaches are provided, it becomes a strong vehicle of…
Individuals who are differently-able in vision cannot proceed with their day-to-day activities as smoothly as other people do. Especially independent walking is a hard target to achieve with their visual impairment. Assistive electronic…
As computers become more ubiquitous, traditional two-dimensional interfaces must be replaced with interfaces based on a three-dimensional metaphor. However, these interfaces must still be as simple and functional as their two-dimensional…
People who are blind or have low vision (BLV) encounter numerous challenges in their daily lives and work. To support them, various haptic assistive tools have been developed. Despite these advancements, the effective utilization of these…
People with lower and upper body disabilities can benefit from wheelchairs and robotic arms to improve mobility and independence. Prior assistive interfaces, such as touchscreens and voice-driven predefined commands, often remain…
Block-based programming environments like Scratch have become widely adopted in Computer Science Education, but the mouse-based drag-and-drop interface can challenge users with disabilities. While prior work has provided solutions…
We are interested in questions of improving user control in best-match text-retrieval systems, specifically questions as to whether simple visualizations that nonetheless go beyond the minimal ones generally available can significantly help…
This paper proposes an interactive system for mobile devices controlled by hand gestures aimed at helping people with visual impairments. This system allows the user to interact with the device by making simple static and dynamic hand…
As the global population of people with disabilities (PWD) continues to grow, so will the need for mobility solutions that promote independent living and social integration. Wheelchairs are vital for the mobility of PWD in both indoor and…
This paper provides a comprehensive and, to our knowledge, the first review of inclusive human-computer interaction (HCI) within autonomous vehicles (AVs) and human-driven cars with partial autonomy, emphasizing accessibility and…
Immersive technologies expand the potential for collaborative sense-making and visual analysis via head-worn displays (HWDs), offering customizable, high-resolution perspectives of a shared visualization space. In such an immersive…
In automotive domain, operation of secondary tasks like accessing infotainment system, adjusting air conditioning vents, and side mirrors distract drivers from driving. Though existing modalities like gesture and speech recognition systems…
Shopping plays a significant role in shaping consumer identity and social integration. However, for individuals with visual impairments, navigating in supermarkets and identifying products can be an overwhelming and challenging experience.…
This article is about one feature which was partly introduced 30 years ago with the development of multi windows operating systems. It is about the movability of screen objects not according to some predetermined algorithm but by the direct…
We investigate hybrid user interfaces (HUIs), aiming to establish a cohesive understanding and adopt consistent terminology for this nascent research area. HUIs combine heterogeneous devices in complementary roles, leveraging the distinct…
In this paper, we propose a deep learning based assistive system to improve the environment perception experience of visually impaired (VI). The system is composed of a wearable terminal equipped with an RGBD camera and an earphone, a…
Current web accessibility guidelines ask visualization designers to support screen readers via basic non-visual alternatives like textual descriptions and access to raw data tables. But charts do more than summarize data or reproduce…
We investigate the perception of visual variables on wall-sized tiled displays within an immersive environment. We designed and conducted two formal user studies focusing on elementary visualization reading tasks in VR. The first study…
Technology presents a significant educational opportunity, particularly in enhancing emotional engagement and expanding learning and educational prospects for individuals with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD). Virtual reality emerges as a…
Virtual assistants (VAs) have become ubiquitous in daily life, integrated into smartphones and smart devices, sparking interest in AI companions that enhance user experiences and foster emotional connections. However, existing companions…
