- Additional information
- Prior to this publication research studies within accessibility and non-visual interaction with digital technologies predominantly focused on isolated assessment and evaluations of users’ abilities to perform discrete tasks and actions in laboratory conditions. By observing the technology adoption process in the wild, we demonstrate that the barriers and challenges are more than the sum of these discrete tasks and need to be approached as such. In turn, this research posits novel methods to understand technology usage and shifts our understanding of the interaction challenges faced by visually impaired people with smartphone devices setting a new agenda for the community.
