Keywords: accessibility, disabilities
My main interest is in accessible technology for persons with disabilities. I have five major projects:
- Tactile Graphics - making figures in textbooks accessible to blind students.
- WebInSight - making the web accessible to blind people.
- MobileASL - making video enabled cell phones accessible to deaf people who use sign language.
- DHH Cyber-Community in STEM - making the science classroom accessible to deaf students.
- AccessComputing - increasing the number and success of students with disabilities in computing fields.
- MobileAccessibility - bridge to the world for blind, low-vision, and deaf-blind people
