Accessible design for some may still produce barriers for others. This tension, called access friction, creates challenges for both designers and end-users with disabilities. To address this, we present the concept of softerware, a system…
Undeniably, the advent of mobile applications has brought new frontiers to usability engineering. To date, ongoing research has shown significant efforts to adopt and adapt usability principles to the mobile computing environment. One of…
Designed with an accessible first design approach, the presented paper describes how exploiting humans proprioception ability in 3D space can result in a more natural interaction experience when using a 3D graphical user interface in a…
Augmented reality is projected to be a primary mode of information consumption on the go, seamlessly integrating virtual content into the physical world. However, the potential perceptual demands of viewing virtual annotations while…
Inclusion and accessibility in visualization research have gained increasing attention in recent years. However, many challenges still remain to be solved on the road toward a more inclusive, shared-experience-driven visualization design…
Augmented reality (AR) offers immersive interaction but remains inaccessible for users with motor impairments or limited dexterity due to reliance on precise input methods. This study proposes a gesture-based interaction system for AR…
In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, many events and conferences hastily converted to a virtual format, and many commercial ventures promptly developed tools promising seamless transitions to virtual spaces. In particular, efforts…
As augmented reality (AR) becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, ensuring the safety and trustworthiness of its virtual content is critical. Our research addresses the risks of task-detrimental AR content, particularly that…
Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) integrates computer-generated virtual objects with physical environments for mobile devices. MAR systems enable users to interact with MAR devices, such as smartphones and head-worn wearables, and performs…
The auditory sense of humans is important when it comes to navigation. The importance is especially high in cases when an object of interest is visually partly or fully covered. Interactions with users of technology are mainly focused on…
The advent of personalized reality has arrived. Rapid development in AR/MR/VR enables users to augment or diminish their perception of the physical world. Robust tooling for digital interface modification enables users to change how their…
Technologies can support people with early onset dementia (PwD) to aid them in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). The integration of physical and virtual realities in Mixed reality technologies (MRTs) could provide scalable and…
Virtual reality is expected to play a significant role in the transformation of education and psychological studies. The possibilities for its application as a visual research method can be enhanced as established frameworks and toolkits…
Many apps have basic accessibility issues, like missing labels or low contrast. Automated tools can help app developers catch basic issues, but can be laborious or require writing dedicated tests. We propose a system, motivated by a…
Modern healthcare facilities demand digital accessibility to guarantee equal access to telemedicine platforms, online pharmacy services, and health monitoring devices that can be worn or are handy. With the rising call for the…
Microservice-based systems are often complex to understand, especially when their sizes grow. Abstracted views help practitioners with the system understanding from a certain perspective. Recent advancement in interactive data visualization…
While taking into account handicapped people in the design of technologies represents a social and political stake that becomes important (in particular with the recent law on equal rights for all the citizens, March 2004), this paper aims…
The emergence of virtual companions is transforming the evolution of intelligent systems that effortlessly cater to the unique requirements of users. These advanced systems not only take into account the user present capabilities,…
The safety and accessibility of our homes is critical to quality of life and evolves as we age, become ill, host guests, or experience life events such as having children. Researchers and health professionals have created assessment…
Despite significant research that was influenced by Situationally-Induced Impairments and Disabilities (SIIDs) to improve the accessibility of mobile technology, there is still lack of awareness on how to design for SIIDs. Designing for…
