Playfulness, the individual intrinsic involvement in play has been described as a measurable characteristic of these aspects of play. Play and playfulness can be limited in children with physical impairment (PI) and robotic toys might offer good options and opportunities for playing. Five robotic toys of the mainstream market were proposed to seven children with PI to verify their playfulness and their usability. Playfulness was coded according to the Test of Playfulness (Bundy & Skard, 1997). Results show that all the robots were playful and interesting to the children; however, the role of the adult expert play companion proved crucial both as assistive agent and as a scaffolding partner, to assure a high level of playfulness to the play activity. A first discussion proposal of the results on the basis of the playfulness construct and of their constituent elements is presented, with the aim of laying the foundations for new reflections and deepening studies in the field of play and children with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":334897,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114887099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The usability should be considered in the design of applications on mobile devices for older users because as we age, cognitive functions begin to decline and older people may have more difficulty to cope with managing a eventfully daily routine, even those experiencing a healthy ageing process. Thus, the opportunities that may be brought by the use of smartphones and solutions for the daily difficulties are still in demand. Therefore, co-design and focus on preferences and needs are necessary in order to make applications for mobile devices really accessible to older users. From data collected in a previous study, the authors developed a note-taking application with older user centered design for aid routine management. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the use by older users of this note-taking application, named ElderNote. The study involved a sample of 21 Brazilian older users of tablets and smartphones. Results showed that the reminder app designed for an older audience is accessible and have good usability, according to the performance of the older users' participants.","PeriodicalId":334897,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131651013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But not everyone has full access to information. This applies particularly to people with learning difficulties or cognitive disabilities. Especially at conferences, congresses or seminars it is often not easy for them to follow the content of the lectures and presentations. Hand drawn visualizations which are easy to understand can help to present complex topics much more understandable and to sum up the relevant content or message in a nutshell. Conferences that are accessible to people with disabilities are also accessible to many more audiences, like people who are not fluent in the language, educationally disadvantaged people or people with different learning styles [1]. So the aim of visualizations is to make spoken or written text easy to understand and accessible for people with learning difficulties or cognitive disabilities and other participants of conferences. This paper presents a methodology of visualization for representing information and contents in a conference setting in an easier and more understandable way. First of all, the types of images and their level of abstraction will be explained in this paper, as well as the motives for and the functions of visualizations. Furthermore, examples from real life and finally the impact of visualizations for people with learning difficulties or cognitive disabilities will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":334897,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121229127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective -- To verify the feasibility of using a multi-method approach for data collection when evaluating the usability of AAL products and services. Methods -- An experimental study was conducted using two questionnaires, the Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) and the International Classification of Functionality, Disability and Health based Usability Scale (ICF-US), together with the registration of quantitative data related to the performance of the users carrying out specific tasks, and the registration of critical incidents. Results -- The experimental results suggest that the PSSUQ (to determine self-perceived usability) and the ICF-US (to determine the opinion of the evaluator on the users' performance) promote an accurate evaluation of the interaction mechanisms. Conclusion -- Multiple data collection methods seems to be an efficient approach for usability evaluation of AAL products and services.","PeriodicalId":334897,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129160657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a particular case of object detection, pedestrian detection in general is a difficult task due to a large variability of features due to different scales, views and occlusion. Typically, smaller and occluded pedestrians are hard to detect due to fewer discriminative features if compared to large-size, visible pedestrians. In order to overcome this, we use convolutional features from different stages in a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), with the idea of combining more global features with finer details. In this paper we present an object detection framework based on multi-stage convolutional features for pedestrian detection. This framework extends the Fast R-CNN framework for the combination of several convolutional features from different stages of the used CNN to improve the network's detection accuracy. The Caltech Pedestrian dataset was used to train and evaluate the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":334897,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115132836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
