Design for all: designing for the motion-impaired user. (1998)
Preprint / Working Paper
Clarkson, P., & Keates, S. (1998). Design for all: designing for the motion-impaired user

Designing for all requires the adaptation and modification of current design best practices to encompass a broader range of user capabilities. This is particularly the case in the design of the human-product interface. Product interfaces exist everyw... Read More about Design for all: designing for the motion-impaired user..

The use of gestures in multimodal input (1998)
