We present a formative study that examines how people with visual and motor disabilities select, adapt, and use mobile devices in their daily lives. Expand

Sharing is Caring: Assistive Technology Designs on Thingiverse

E. Buehler, Stacy M. Branham, +4 authors S. Kane
Computer Science
CHI
18 April 2015

An increasing number of online communities support the open-source sharing of designs that can be built using rapid prototyping to construct physical objects. Expand

Ability-Based Design: Concept, Principles and Examples

J. Wobbrock, S. Kane, Krzysztof Z Gajos, S. Harada, Jon Froehlich
Computer Science
TACC
14 April 2011

We present a refinement to these approaches called ability-based design that consists of focusing on ability throughout the design process in an effort to create systems that leverage the full range of human potential. Expand

Usable gestures for blind people: understanding preference and performance

S. Kane, J. Wobbrock, R. Ladner
Computer Science
CHI
7 May 2011

We found that blind people have different gesture preferences than sighted people, including preferences for edge-based gestures and gestures that involve tapping virtual keys. Expand

Access overlays: improving non-visual access to large touch screens for blind users

S. Kane, M. Morris, Annuska Z. Perkins, Daniel J. Wigdor, R. Ladner, J. Wobbrock
Computer Science
UIST '11
16 October 2011

We introduce a set of three software-based access overlays intended to improve the accessibility of large touch screen interfaces, specifically interactive tabletops. Expand

Getting off the treadmill: evaluating walking user interfaces for mobile devices in public spaces

S. Kane, J. Wobbrock, I. Smith
Computer Science
Mobile HCI
2 September 2008

Using a mobile device while moving limits attention and motor ability and can result in reduced performance. Expand

Bonfire: a nomadic system for hybrid laptop-tabletop interaction

S. Kane, Daniel Avrahami, +4 authors A. LaMarca
Computer Science
UIST '09
4 October 2009

We present Bonfire, a self-contained mobile computing system that uses two laptop-mounted laser micro-projectors to project an interactive display space to either side of a laptop keyboard to enable hand gesture tracking, object recognition, and information transfer within the projected space.

The AT Effect: How Disability Affects the Perceived Social Acceptability of Head-Mounted Display Use

Halley Profita, Reem Albaghli, Leah Findlater, Paul Jaeger, S. Kane
Psychology, Computer Science
CHI
7 May 2016

We surveyed 1200 individuals about the use of a head-mounted display in a public setting, examining how information about the user's disability affected judgments of the social acceptability of the scenario. Expand

Toward Everyday Gaze Input: Accuracy and Precision of Eye Tracking and Implications for Design

A. Feit, Shane Williams, +4 authors M. Morris
Computer Science
CHI
2 May 2017

We found that accuracy and precision can vary between users and targets more than six-fold, and report on differences between lighting, trackers, and screen regions. Expand
