Understanding the Accessibility of Single-User Virtual Reality Environments for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

In this paper, we aim to understand accessibility issues for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) with single- user VR applications. To this end, we recruited eight participants with I/DD for this study. We asked each participant to use a single- user VR application (on Meta Quest 2) and then…

Towards Fair and Equitable Incentives to Motivate Paid and Unpaid Crowd Contributions

Researchers commonly rely on contributions from either unpaid contributors or work done by paid crowdworkers. Rarely are the motivations of these workers and the accuracy of their contributions studied simultaneously in the wild over time.

We surveyed practitioners who help individuals with I/DD post-abuse to get a broader context on the problem. We found that…

"I...Got my Nose-Print. But it Wasn't Accurate": How People with Upper Extremity Impairment Authenticate on their Personal Computing Devices

Authentication has become increasingly ubiquitous for controlling access to personal computing devices (e.g., laptops, tablets, and smartphones). In this paper, we aim to understand the authentication process used by people with upper extremity impairment (UEI). A person with UEI lacks range of motion, strength, endu…
