The design and evaluation of an assistive multimodal interface
نویسنده
چکیده
A requirements capture carried out with thirty blind and visually impaired participants has outlined many issues visually impaired people face when accessing the Web using current assistive technology. One key finding was that spatial information is not conveyed to users. An assistive multimodal interface has been developed that conveys spatial information to users via speech, audio and haptics. Additionally, techniques for evaluating assistive technology with visually impaired participants are discussed.

Reflections on a Versatile User Interface Framework for Older Persons Optimised for an Assistive Robot Providing Support in Daily Life
A versatile multimodal user interface (UI) framework was developed for persons with disability and for older persons to increase autonomy and quality of life. This UI framework covers use cases from single switch use in scanning mode, simplified telephone for older persons based on touchscreen terminal, integration of social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and assistive robots. The evaluation ac...
متن کاملALADIN: Adaptive Speech Interaction for People with Disabilities
This position paper gives an overview of our ongoing work within the ALADIN project, which aims to develop an assistive vocal interface for people with physical impairments. Unlike most current Automatic Speech Recognition solutions, the system is entirely trained by the user, which provides extra challenges to the design of the interface. We describe three iterations of our user tests, showing...
متن کاملForce Sensitive Handles and Capacitive Touch Sensor for Driving a Flexible Haptic-Based Immersive System
In this article, we present an approach that uses both two force sensitive handles (FSH) and a flexible capacitive touch sensor (FCTS) to drive a haptic-based immersive system. The immersive system has been developed as part of a multimodal interface for product design. The haptic interface consists of a strip that can be used by product designers to evaluate the quality of a 3D virtual shape b...

متن کاملAssistive Multimodal Interfaces for Improving Web Accessibility
Multimodal interfaces have been used in helping blind and partially sighted people to access visualization tools such as graphs and numerical tables. However, few studies have been undertaken to improve Web access and navigation using a multimodal approach. This paper describes a novel approach that addresses this Web accessibility issue by using an assistive tool which consists of a multimodal...
