mobility assistance & accessibility

Accessibility in electronic information era is a way of technology that can be used by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. It incorporates the principles of universal design. Each user is able to interact with the technology in ways that work best for them. We at KDDM research group have been actively doing research in this area and have published our findings at prestigious venues. Listed below are our selected publications from the "Mobility Assistance & Accessibility" area only. Please click here for complete list of KDDM research group's publications.
