Freedom to roam: a study of mobile device adoption and accessibility for people with visual and motor disabilities (2009, background): “As shown in our previous study [10], mobile device users also carry devices with redundant functions when one device is better suited for a certain function.”
VizWiz: nearly real-time answers to visual questions (2010, background): “Touchscreen devices like the iPhone were once assumed to be inaccessible to blind users, but well-designed, multitouch interfaces leverage the spatial layout of the screen and can even be preferred by blind people [12].”
VizWiz: nearly real-time answers to visual questions (2010, background): “Touchscreen devices like the iPhone were once assumed to be inaccessible to blind users, but well-designed, multitouch interfaces leverage the spatial layout of the screen and can even be preferred by blind people [ 12 ].”
Answering visual questions with conversational crowd assistants (2013, background): “In fact, touchscreen devices can even be preferred over button-based devices by blind users [5].”
Real time object scanning using a mobile phone and cloud-based visual search engine (2013, background): “Touchscreen devices like iPhone were once thought to be inaccessible to blind users, but well-designed, multi-touch interfaces leverage the spatial layout of the screen and can even be preferred by blind people [8].”
Fashion retailing – past, present and future (2014, background): “New multi-touch user interfaces support additional interaction techniques beyond pointing and tapping, and allow users to interact using single- and multi-finger gestures such as flicking, swiping, rotating and pinching [341, 342,343].”
VizWiz::LocateIt - enabling blind people to locate objects in their environment (2010, background): “Touchscreen devices like the iPhone were once assumed to be inaccessible to blind users, but well-designed, multitouch interfaces leverage the spatial layout of the screen and can even be preferred by blind people [29].”
Visual challenges in the everyday lives of blind people (2013, background): “Touchscreen devices like the iPhone were once assumed to be inaccessible to blind users, but well-designed, multitouch interfaces leverage the spatial layout of the screen and can even be preferred by blind people [17].”
