- Cross-Platform Development (Cross-Platform Framework, Multi-Platform Development)
- A software development approach that allows a single codebase to run on multiple operating systems or device platforms, such as iOS and Android. Frameworks like React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin enab…
- Cross-Platform Development Framework (CPDF, Cross-Platform Framework)
- A software development toolkit that allows developers to write application code once and deploy it on multiple operating systems, such as iOS and Android. Popular examples include React Native, Xamari…
- Cross-Referencing (Verification by Comparison)
- A strategy used by blind people to verify AI output by comparing information from multiple sources or against prior personal knowledge. In the context of privacy tools, participants suggested that ass…
- Cross-Representation Highlighting (Synchronized Highlighting, Linked Highlighting)
- A user interface technique that synchronizes selections across multiple representations of the same data, so that selecting an element in one view automatically highlights the corresponding element in…
- Cross-Sector Partnership (Multi-Sector Collaboration)
- A collaborative arrangement between organizations from different sectors, such as universities, government agencies, nonprofits, and communities, working together toward shared goals. In assistive tec…
- Cross-Sensory Translation (Sensory Substitution, Sensory Translation, Cross-Modal Translation)
- The process of converting information from one sensory modality to another — for example, representing visual information through touch, sound, smell, or taste. In exhibition accessibility, cross-sens…
- Cross-Validation (K-Fold Cross-Validation, Stratified Cross-Validation)
- A statistical method for evaluating machine learning models by splitting data into multiple subsets (folds), training the model on some folds and testing on the remaining ones, then rotating through a…
- Cross-language Research (Cross-linguistic Research, Multilingual Research)
- Research conducted across different languages, requiring translation and interpretation to bridge communication between researchers and participants who do not share a common language. In accessibilit…
- Cross-modal (Cross-modal Correspondence, Cross-modal Perception)
- The phenomenon whereby information or stimulation in one sensory modality (such as vision) systematically influences or corresponds with perception in another modality (such as hearing or touch). In a…
- Cross-modal Congruency
- The temporal, spatial, and semantic alignment of sensory cues during an interaction — for example, a visual event and its accompanying sound occurring at the same moment and in the same location, with…
- Cross-modal Plasticity (Cross-modal Reorganisation, Cross-modal Cortical Recruitment, Sensory Substitution)
- A neurological phenomenon in which brain regions typically dedicated to processing one sensory modality are repurposed to process information from another sense, often as a result of sensory deprivati…
- Cross-neurotype communication (Cross-neurological communication, Neurotype-crossing communication)
- Communication between individuals with different neurological profiles, most commonly between autistic and neurotypical people. Cross-neurotype communication is characterized by differences in convers…
- Cross-syndrome comparison (Cross-disability comparison)
- A research methodology that evaluates a technology or intervention with participants from multiple disability groups to determine whether findings and design principles generalize across conditions. C…
- Crosscutting Concern (Cross-Cutting Concern)
- In software engineering, a crosscutting concern is a requirement or feature that affects multiple modules of a system and cannot be cleanly decomposed into a single component. Accessibility is a class…
- Crossing-Based Interaction (Goal Crossing)
- An alternative to traditional point-and-click interaction where users select a target by dragging across its boundary rather than tapping or clicking on it. Instead of requiring a precise tap within a…
- Crosswalk (Pedestrian Crossing, Zebra Crossing, Continental Crossing)
- A marked area on a roadway designated for pedestrians to cross safely, typically indicated by painted lines or patterns on the pavement. Zebra crossings (called "continental crossings" in the US) feat…
- Crosswalk detection (Pedestrian crossing detection, Zebra crossing detection)
- The automated identification and localization of marked pedestrian crossings in imagery using computer vision techniques. Crosswalk detection can be performed on satellite images, street-level photogr…
- Crowd Accessibility (Crowdsourcing for Accessibility, Human-Powered Access Technology)
- An approach that combines human intelligence with machine intelligence to create accessible content and services for people with disabilities. In crowd accessibility, micro-tasks that automated system…
- Crowd Work (Crowdwork, Microtask Work, Gig Work)
- A form of employment in which tasks are distributed to a large pool of online workers through digital platforms, typically broken into small, discrete units that can be completed independently and rem…
- Crowd-AI System (Hybrid Crowd-AI, Human-AI System)
- A system that combines human crowdsourced input with artificial intelligence to accomplish tasks that neither can handle well alone. In accessibility contexts, crowd-AI systems are used for visual que…
