ABSTRACT
Every human is different. This diversity has not been given enough attention in mobile UI design. Disabled groups, with specific individual differences, face difficulties with traditional or stereotypical interfaces. My goal is to identify the individual features that influence mobile interaction, considering the blind, and match them with mobile interaction modalities in a comprehensive and extensible design space.

Blind people and mobile keypads: accounting for individual differences
INTERACT'11: Proceedings of the 13th IFIP TC 13 international conference on Human-computer interaction - Volume Part INo two persons are alike. We usually ignore this diversity as we have the capability to adapt and, without noticing, become experts in interfaces that were probably misadjusted to begin with. This adaptation is not always at the user's reach. One ...

Blind people and mobile touch-based text-entry: acknowledging the need for different flavors
ASSETS '11: The proceedings of the 13th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibilityThe emergence of touch-based mobile devices brought fresh and exciting possibilities. These came at the cost of a considerable number of novel challenges. They are particularly apparent with the blind population, as these devices lack tactile cues and ...
