Multimodal Interfaces to Broaden Access
Information seeking has become, for many people, an indispensable part of modern life, yet it always presents significant challenges for users with special needs, such as elders, blind or visually impaired users, or children. Could there be a better multi-modal system to facilitate users with special needs in the online information acquisition process? In this studio, we will explore approaches such as voice-interaction, mobile phone assistants, human-environment interaction, as well as how these could work together to better create a positive impact in the special needs communities.
