ABSTRACT
Hands-free interfaces could be the best choice for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) for people with physical disabilities that are not capable of using traditional input devices. Once a first prototype is developed in the laboratory taking into account design and usability requirements, real users is what finally categorize an interface as useful or not. Therefore, an evaluation of our interface with users with cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis has been carried out during a project of 9 months long. This paper presents a vision-based user interface designed to achieve computer accessibility together with the validation and evaluation of its human computer interaction issues such as usability and accessibility.

Hands-free vision-based interface for computer accessibility
Physically disabled and mentally challenged people are an important part of our society that has not yet received the same opportunities as others in their inclusion in the Information Society. Therefore, it is necessary to develop easily accessible ...
Equivalent representations of multimodal user interfaces
While providing non-visual access to graphical user interfaces has been a topic of research for over 20 years, blind users still face many obstacles when using computer systems. Furthermore, daily life has become more and more infused with devices that ...
Towards standardized user and application interfaces for the brain computer interface
UAHCI'11: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Universal access in human-computer interaction: users diversity - Volume Part IIIn this paper, we consider two obstacles preventing widespread deployment of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology: the lack of standardization for the user interface and the applications interface. We suggest a structure for an intuitive graphical ...
