14 Citations2010Fernando Alonso, José L. Fuertes +2 more
The main challenges that WCAG 2.0 raises for web accessibility evaluators are pointed out: the concept of "accessibility supported technologies"; success criteria testability; technique and failure openness, and the aggregation of partial results.
Lecture notes in computer scienceA Graphical Tactile Screen-Explorer
12 Citations2010Martin Spindler, Michael Kraus +1 more
A concept for complex user interaction with tactile widgets and how to adapt the screen explorer to the requirements of third party applications by the use of Add-Ins is described.
Lecture notes in computer scienceReading Braille and Tactile Ink-Print on a Planar Tactile Display
11 Citations2010Denise Prescher, Oliver Nadig +1 more
This work studies reading Braille on a novel planar tactile display to find out if equidistant Braille can be as fast as standard Braille.
Lecture notes in computer scienceImproving Screen Magnification Using the HyperBraille Multiview Windowing Technique
6 Citations2010Christiane Taras, Michael Raschke +4 more
A new concept for magnification software is presented, which uses different views to support the user efficiently in different situations and reveals the possibility to build upon current magnification methods and so retain features of current magnification software.
Lecture notes in computer scienceUser-Interface Filter for Two-Dimensional Haptic Interaction
5 Citations2010Wiebke Köhlmann, Francis Zinke +2 more
General principles for the design of user interfaces for systems software are discussed, which take into account the constraints imposed by special user groups like visually impaired or blind persons and by special displays like haptic displays or very small screens.
Lecture notes in computer scienceEnhancing Single Touch Gesture Classifiers to Multitouch Support
5 Citations2010Michael Schmidt, Gerhard Weber

Lecture notes in computer scienceUser Testing of Google Reader and RIA Complexity – A Warning
4 Citations2010Joshue O. Connor
There are many APIs and toolkits available in the wild today that allow developers to build rich sophisticated Web Applications but how can they be easily used by the widest possible audience, including older people and people with disabilities?
Lecture notes in computer scienceComprehending and Making Drawings of 3D Objects by Visually Impaired People: Research on Drawings of Geometric Shapes by Various Methods of Projection
4 Citations2010Takeshi Kaneko, Mamoru Fujiyoshi +5 more
Investigation of the possibility of the early and late blind comprehending and producing tactile drawings by oblique, axonometric or perspective projection shows that both groups understand drawings via latter two methods well and in addition to the late blind, even the early blind understands drawings via the former three projection methods at least partially, which would lead to better understanding.
