Simply adding videos to an English-centric user interface layout leads to unsatisfactory results because language conventions and differences in intuition create varying scanning patterns and expectations regarding the information's placement and presentation. Therefore, design choices regarding the videos and their surroundings must be made to overcome this challenge. In this work, we design interfaces that do not rely on English fluency. By promoting the widespread use and availability of well-designed ASL resources, we aim to support increased access and representation of ASL online materials for members of the Deaf community. We are developing an ASL-centric survey tool that would enable users to take surveys in ASL. Our objective is to study design elements that can help users navigate resources intuitively without relying on English. Lastly, we hope to contribute to cultivating access to collaborative human-centered methods and research by closely reflecting on HCI methods and moving towards creating a guideline to carry out research in ASL.","PeriodicalId":486789,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigaccess Accessibility and Computing","volume":"288 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140521185","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}

Thus, BVI people have become domain experts in customizing and 'hacking' assistive technology in order to creatively suit their needs. However, current assistive technologies are difficult to hack and alter at the individual level due to the skill and resources required. Due to these challenges, new approaches to supporting Do-It-Yourself (DIY) technology creation are needed to make applying the DIY concept to high-tech assistive technologies for BVI people more feasible. Through my dissertation, I aim to better support DIY assistive software design and development, so that BVI people can design, create, and customize assistive software for themselves and their communities. To accomplish this, I plan to address three primary research goals. First, through qualitative interviews, I present an understanding of why and how BVI people engage in assistive technology customization and adaptation, and the challenges and opportunities that arise from this practice. Second, I aim to investigate how end-user programming can be applied as an approach to DIY assistive technology creation, by designing, building, and evaluating a prototype end-user programming tool. Finally, I aim to understand and improve the real-world feasibility of end-user programming in this domain, by designing tools to improve the accessibility of debugging visual technologies. By addressing these primary research questions, my planned dissertation contributes to the HCI and accessibility community's understanding of DIY assistive software, accessible end-user programming, and accessible debugging techniques. By supporting BVI in creating and modifying their assistive software, this research aims to promote the democratization of technology creation and support BVI people in having greater control over AI-based technologies in their lives.","PeriodicalId":486789,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigaccess Accessibility and Computing","volume":"24 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140526899","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}

These devices come in various forms such as smartphone applications, smart-glasses, and smart canes. Smart glasses have gained popularity lately due to recent technological advancements, as well as their natural position in front of the user's eyes. However, there has been limited research to understand how people with severe vision impairments would prefer to interact with them. The objective of this project is to investigate the use of AI-enabled smart-glasses to aid individuals with severe vision impairments. The research aims to comprehend the differences between the types of research conducted by researchers and the needs and desires of the community. The study will utilise a Design Thinking approach and involve vision-impaired users throughout the project by utilising co-design methods. The research will involve the development of smart-glass application prototypes through iterative case studies with individuals who are blind, have low-vision, and have cerebral vision impairment (CVI). The goal is to understand the users' preferred interaction model from their lived experiences. The outcome of the research will also be a software architecture that enables people with severe vision impairments to seamlessly access information about their surroundings.","PeriodicalId":486789,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigaccess Accessibility and Computing","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140515666","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}
