ABSTRACT
People with physical impairments can experience significant challenges in using traditional input devices (e.g. a mouse, keyboard, stylus, etc.) to control mainstream creative design software (e.g. Adobe XD, Photoshop, and Illustrator). The use of speech recognition presents new opportunities to make these applications more accessible, although there has been little work exploring this area to date. This doctoral research is addressing this lack of work through investigating how different speech interaction techniques can be used to support people with physical impairments in controlling and manipulating graphical objects. Initial work around examining new techniques for supporting the movement of visual objects around a design canvas is presented, along with details outlining other key areas that require further investigation in this field.

The challenges in adopting assistive technologies in the workplace for people with visual impairments
OzCHI '18: Proceedings of the 30th Australian Conference on Computer-Human InteractionThere are many barriers to employment for people with visual impairments. Assistive technologies (ATs), such as computer screen readers and enlarging software, are commonly used to help overcome employment barriers and enable people with visual ...
Assisting people with visual impairments in aiming at a target on a large wall-mounted display
Large interactive displays have become ubiquitous in our everyday lives, but these displays are designed for the needs of sighted people. In this paper, we specifically address assisting people with visual impairments to aim at a target on a large wall-...
Ability-Based Design: Concept, Principles and Examples
Current approaches to accessible computing share a common goal of making technology accessible to users with disabilities. Perhaps because of this goal, they may also share a tendency to centralize disability rather than ability. We present a refinement ...
