- KonferenzbeitragAccessibility in Conceptual Modeling Research and Tools(Modellierung 2024, 2024) Sarioglu, Aylin; Metin, Haydar; Bork, DominikThe reports on Disability by the World Health Organization show that the number of people with disabilities is increasing. Consequently, accessibility should play an essential role in information systems engineering research. While software and web engineering research acknowledge this need by providing, e.g., web accessibility guidelines and testing frameworks, we show in this paper, based on a systematic review of the literature and current modeling tools, that accessibility is, so far, a blind spot in conceptual modeling research. With the paper at hand, we aim to identify current research gaps and delineate a vision toward more inclusive, i.e., disability-aware conceptual modeling. One key finding relates to a gap in research and tool support concerning physical disabilities. Based on these results, we further present the first modeling tool that can be used keyboard-only, thereby including users with physical disabilities to engage in conceptual modeling.
- KonferenzbeitragAccessible Mobile Map Application and Interaction for People with Visual or Mobility Impairments(Mensch und Computer 2022 - Tagungsband, 2022) Rottmann, Sebastian; Loitsch, Claudia; Weber, GerhardModern map applications provide their users with a multitude of functions that can be used through different forms of interactions. However, many map providers do not adequately meet the needs of users with blindness, low vision or mobility impairments. Therefore, we investigated interaction concepts for an accessible mobile map application. Theses concepts not only focus on the user interface, but also on the map content, which should be accessible to the target groups as well. We conducted a pilot study in which nine participants tested the usability and accessibility of the developed application. Our results show that we created a viable alternative for making map content accessible to people with different needs by providing an additional list view. Feedback from subjects indicated that in future, the listed items need to be meaningfully classified and ordered such that users with visual impairments or blindness can use them to form a mental picture of their surroundings.
- WorkshopbeitragReflections on Ableism in Participatory Technology Design(Mensch und Computer 2022 - Workshopband, 2022) Gerling, Kathrin; Kender, Kay; Spiel, Katta; Van der Oord, Saskia; Baeyens, Dieter; Depoortere, Arno; Aufheimer, MariaParticipatory efforts to design technology for disabled people often involve a range of stakeholders, butwe rarely pause to question how perspectives and views of the different people involved in those processes - including negative or incorrect perceptions of disability - influence our work. In this paper, we explore how ableism, i.e., discrimination based on normative bodily assumptions mostly affecting disabled people, impacted our research projects, and outline challenges for our research communities moving forward.
- ZeitschriftenartikelSchnittstelle Hand – Kommunikation mit Gefühl(i-com: Vol. 11, No. 2, 2012) Bieling, Tom; Gollner, Ulrike; Joost, GescheGesellschaftlich marginalisierte Gruppen wie die der taubblinden Menschen werden von unterschiedlichen Formen der Kommunikation mitunter stark ausgeschlossen. Um diesen die Kommunikation zu erleichtern und somit ihre Unabhängigkeit zu fördern, entwickeln wir am Design Research Lab der Berliner Universität der Künste (UdK) den Mobile Lorm Glove. Der Prototyp ist ein mobiles Kommunikationsgerät in Form eines Handschuhs, mit dessen Hilfe sich das deutsche Tastalphabet Lorm in digitalen Text übersetzen lässt und umgekehrt. Textile Drucksensoren ermöglichen dem taubblinden Benutzer Textnachrichten zu verfassen, welche automatisch an das mobile Endgerät oder den Computer weitergeleitet werden. Mit Hilfe kleiner Vibrationsmotoren auf der Rückseite des Handschuhs kann der/die BenutzerIn empfangene Nachrichten wahrnehmen. Dabei findet der Datentransfer zwischen den unterschiedlichen Geräten via Bluetooth statt.
