Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers (2003)
Journal Article
Dong, H., Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003). Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers. ACM SIGCAPH Computers and the Physically Handicapped, 9-10. https://doi.org/10.1145/976261.976264

The aim of this research is to identify the motivations for, and barriers obstructing, the adoption of inclusive design practices within industry. The working processes of a number of design consultancies have been audited and large-scale industry su... Read More about Inclusive design in industry: motivations and barriers.

The use of cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users (2002)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Hwang, F., Langdon, P., Clarkson, P., & Robinson, P. (2002). The use of cursor measures for motion-impaired computer users. Universal Access in the Information Society, 2(1), 18-29. https://doi.org/10.1007/S10209-002-0033-7

?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 a practical inclusive interface design approach (2002)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002). Developing a practical inclusive interface design approach. Interacting with Computers, 14(4), 271-299. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0953-5438%2801%2900054-6

It is known that many products, both software and hardware, are not accessible to large sections of the population. Designers instinctively design for able-bodied users and are either unaware of the needs of users with different capabilities, or do n...

Enabling computer access for motion-impaired users (2001)
Journal Article
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2001). Enabling computer access for motion-impaired users. European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics News, 46, 43-44

Conventional computer interfaces and input systems present serious difficulties to users with impaired motion. The Engineering Design Centre of the University of Cambridge, in conjunction with the Computer Laboratory, has been researching methods of...

Gestures and multimodal input (1999)
Journal Article
Keates, S., & Robinson, P. (1999). Gestures and multimodal input. Behaviour and Information Technology, 18(1), 36-44. https://doi.org/10.1080/014492999119237

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. In this paper, we will describe the development of a prototype multimoda... Read More about Gestures and multimodal input.
