ABSTRACT
Motion-sensing devices that track the movement of human bodies, rigid body marker clusters, and eyes offer a diverse range of alternative input modalities that can be applied to create more accessible interfaces for diverse user populations. We present a set of curricular modules and open-source software suitable for use at the two- or four-year college level to teach accessible design featuring programming of three different types of motion-sensing input devices. The intended audience are software developers or students in computing-related fields. The curricular modules are open source and include guidelines for accessible design, readings, lab activities and project assignment prompts.
