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…

We make a first attempt to characterize image accessibility on Wikipedia across languages, present new experimental results that can inform efforts to assess description quality, and offer some strategies to improve Wikipedia's image…

Creating accessible Virtual Reality (VR) is an ongoing concern in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research community. However, there is little reflection on how accessibility should be conceptualized in the context of an experiential…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies hold immense potential for revolutionizing the way individuals with disabilities interact with the world. AR systems can provide real-time assistance and support by overlaying digital information over the…

The navigation of indoor spaces poses difficult challenges for individuals with visual impairments, as it requires processing of sensory information, dealing with uncertainties, and relying on assistance. To tackle these challenges, we…
