• Understanding Design Considerations for Adaptive User Interfaces for Accessible Pointing with Older and Younger Adults

  Aqueasha Martin-Hammond, Abdullah Ali, Catherine Hornback, Amy K. Hurst · 2015 · Proceedings of the 12th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper explores user preferences for adaptive user interfaces (AUIs) that detect and accommodate pointing difficulties when using a mouse, touchpad, or touchscreen to interact with the web. The researchers conducted participatory design sessions with 38 participants — 8…

• Balance Assessment in Fall-Prevention Exergames

  Carlos Miguel Dias de Brito, João Tiago Pinheiro Neto Jacob, Rui Nóbrega, António Manuel Nogueira Santos · 2015 · ASSETS '15: Proceedings of the 17th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This paper presents two exergames designed to motivate elderly adults to perform fall-prevention exercises while simultaneously collecting balance assessment data using the Nintendo Wii Balance Board (WBB). Falls are a major health concern for older adults, and while exercise is…

• A Unifying Notification System To Scale Up Assistive Services

  Charles Consel, Lucile Dupuy, Hélène Sauzéon · 2015 · ASSETS '15: Proceedings of the 17th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This paper addresses a fundamental scalability problem in assistive technology for older adults: the "silo-based" approach where each assistive service (pill reminders, door monitors, activity trackers) implements its own notification system. When older adults need multiple…
