• A Model of Keyboard Configuration Requirements

  Shari Trewin, Helen Pain (1998) — Proceedings of the Third International ACM Conference on Assistive Technologies (Assets '98)

  This paper from the University of Edinburgh presents a user model — a computer program that observes a person's typing behaviour and automatically identifies keyboard difficulties, then recommends appropriate configuration settings. The model address…

• Motor-Impaired Touchscreen Interactions in the Wild

  Kyle Montague, Hugo Nicolau, Vicki L. Hanson (2014) — ASSETS '14: Proceedings of the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers & Accessibility

  This paper examines how touchscreen interaction performance varies over time for people with motor impairments, moving beyond snapshot lab studies to a four-week in-the-wild evaluation. Nine participants with conditions including Parkinson's disease,…
