Defining Design Exclusion (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, March). Defining Design Exclusion. Presented at Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02, Cambridge, UK

It is known that many products are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively focus on providing the necessary utility for someone with physical and skill capabilities similar to their own (Cooper, 1999), unless speci... Read More about Defining Design Exclusion.

Cursor characterisation and haptic interfaces for motion-impaired users (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, March). Cursor characterisation and haptic interfaces for motion-impaired users. Presented at Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02, Cambridge, UK

For people with functional impairments, independent control of a computer is often an important part of everyday life. However, in order to be of benefit, computer systems must be accessible. For people with motion-impairments, the keyboard, mouse an... Read More about Cursor characterisation and haptic interfaces for motion-impaired users.

Countering Design Exclusion (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, March). Countering Design Exclusion. Presented at Cambridge workshop on UA and AT ’02, Cambridge, UK

Conventional product interfaces present serious difficulties to users with functional impairments. Conditions causing such impairments can occur throughout the life course, affecting all age groups. Certain symptoms, such as reduced hearing, appear w... Read More about Countering Design Exclusion.

Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales? (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, March). Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales?. Presented at 1st Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT '02), Cambridge, UK

Designing for a wider range of population has recently been propagated by new design philosophies and approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All and Inclusive Design. Compared with the other two approaches, Inclusive Design approach seems to... Read More about Inclusive design diagnosis based on the ONS scales?.

Designing for inclusivity: Assessing the accessibility of everyday products (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardoso, C., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2002, March). Designing for inclusivity: Assessing the accessibility of everyday products. Presented at CWUAAT '02, 1st Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT '02), Cambridge, UK

The older adult population in most developed countries is growing slowly, but continuously (Laslett, 1996). Several functional changes occur with age which may result in a decrease of perceptual, cognitive and motor skills (Smith et al., 2000). In sp...

Cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, July). Cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users. Presented at ASSETS '02 The 5th ACM SIGCAPH Conference on Assistive Technologies, Edinburgh, Scotland

"Point and click" interactions remain one of the key features of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). People with motion-impairments, however, can often have difficulty with accurate control of standard pointing devices. This paper discusses work that a...

Developing assistive interfaces for motion-impaired users using cursor movement analysis in conjunction with haptic feedback (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Langdon, P. M., Hwang, F., Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, September). Developing assistive interfaces for motion-impaired users using cursor movement analysis in conjunction with haptic feedback. Presented at 4th international conference on disability, virtual reality and associated technologies (ICDVRAT 2002), Veszprém, Hungary

Following a pilot study that suggested that haptic force-feedback could, under certain conditions, lead to 20-50% improvements in time to target in a selection task, a series of experiments further investigated the use of haptic feedback modulated on...
