************ Mobile Accessibility Workshop ************
to be held at INTERACT 2011
Lisbon, Portugal, September 5-9, 2011
http://mobile-accessibility.di.fc.ul.pt/
Mobile devices pervade our daily lives. We are on the cusp of a
fundamental change in how we relate to information and others,
accessible at all times and places. Alas, this change might be barred
to a large number of people, suffering from a wide range of
disabilities. Mobile devices are increasingly visual, making them hard
to use by the blind or other vision-impaired people. Keyboards are
steadily being replaced by touchscreens, without tactile feedback,
introducing additional barriers. Tetraplegic users have limited
mobility of their limbs and hardly are able to pick up the devices or
use their fingers for precise pointing. Moreover, the mobile aspect
often creates situational impairments where those interaction modes
are cumbersome or socially unacceptable, even for non-impaired
people.
These are problems studied by the nascent area of Mobile
Accessibility, where researchers focus on solving accessibility
problems in mobile devices and settings. Bringing together Mobile
Computing and Accessibility, it is the source of synergistic works
that have the potential of deeply transforming how we look at mobile
devices, and to shape the ongoing mobile revolution. This workshop
will bring together researchers and practitioners in the area.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
* Mobile interaction accessibility
* Situational impairments
* Assistive Mobile Technologies
* Mobile Web Accessibility
