  • Scanning for Digital Content: How Blind and Sighted People Perceive Concurrent Speech

    João Guerreiro, Daniel Gonçalves · 2016 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS)

    This paper investigates whether blind and sighted people can leverage concurrent speech — multiple audio streams playing simultaneously — to more efficiently scan and identify relevant digital content, exploiting the well-known Cocktail Party Effect. Screen readers currently…

  • Supporting the selection of web content modality based on user interactions logs

    Fabiano Marcon de Moraes, Vagner Figueredo de Santana, Juliana Cristina Braga · 2016 · Proceedings of the 13th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

    This paper explores using machine learning to automatically detect whether a web user is employing assistive technology based solely on their interaction patterns during a single pageview, without requiring explicit profile configuration or customization. Grounded in Universal…

  • How Designing for People With and Without Disabilities Shapes Student Design Thinking

    Kristen Shinohara, Cynthia L. Bennett, Jacob O. Wobbrock · 2016 · ASSETS '16: Proceedings of the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

    This study investigates how requiring student designers to create technologies for both disabled and non-disabled users influences their understanding of accessibility and design thinking. Unlike typical disability-specific design approaches that produce technologies usable only…
