• Simulation to predict performance of assistive interfaces

  Pradipta Biswas, Peter Robinson (2007) — Proceedings of the 9th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '07)

  This short ASSETS 2007 poster from Pradipta Biswas and Peter Robinson at the Cambridge Computer Laboratory describes a simulator for predicting how disabled users will perform on a given assistive interface, intended to reduce the dependence on hard-…

• Measuring Website Usability for Visually Impaired People - A Modified GOMS Analysis

  Henrik Tonn-Eichstädt (2006) — Proceedings of the 8th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '06)

  This paper adapts the GOMS (Goals, Operators, Methods, Selection rules) model — a well-established HCI method for estimating task execution times — to measure website usability specifically for blind screen reader users. The author argues that access…
