Inclusive design in industry: barriers, drivers and the business case (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, P. J. (2004, June). Inclusive design in industry: barriers, drivers and the business case. Presented at The 8th ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All, Vienna, Austria

Despite increasing discussion in academia, genuinely ?inclusive? design in industry remains the exception rather than the rule. Based on literature reviews and industry surveys, this paper explores the barriers faced by manufacturers, retailers and d...

Developing BS7000 Part 6 - Guide to Managing Inclusive Design (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S. (2004, June). Developing BS7000 Part 6 - Guide to Managing Inclusive Design. Presented at The 8th ERCIM Workshop on User Interfaces for All, Vienna, Austria

Companies are increasingly finding themselves having to ensure that their products and services are accessible and inclusive, or else be exposed to the possibility of litigation and damage to their brand reputation. However, the adoption of inclusive... Read More about Developing BS7000 Part 6 - Guide to Managing Inclusive Design.

Visual-narrative and virtual reality. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carroll, F., Smyth, M., & Dryden, L. (2004, October). Visual-narrative and virtual reality. Presented at IVLA Conference 2004, Pilansberg, South Africa

This paper explores the relationship between the image and the narrative in virtual reality (VR) environments. It
addresses three main issues; how we engage in images, how the VR technology can enhance this engagement
and how narratives can maintai... Read More about Visual-narrative and virtual reality..

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...

Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, April). Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies. Presented at CHI '02 Human Factors in Computing Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

People with motion-impairments often find it difficult to perform many of the actions required to interact with a computer. This paper presents the results of an on-going series of experiments designed to understand how using force feedback affects i...

Using haptic feedback to enhance computer interaction for motion-impaired users (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Langdon, P., Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2000, September). Using haptic feedback to enhance computer interaction for motion-impaired users. Presented at 3rd international conference on disability, virtual reality and associated technologies (ICDVRAT 2000), Alghero, Sardinia, Italy

For users with motion impairments, the standard keyboard and mouse arrangement for computer access often presents problems. Other approaches have to be adopted to overcome this. There is evidence to suggest that increasing the degrees-of-freedom, and... Read More about Using haptic feedback to enhance computer interaction for motion-impaired users.
