Accessible Multimodal Tool Support for Brainstorming Meetings
(2020)Lecture Notes in Computer Science ~ Computers Helping People with Special Needs, 17th International Conference, ICCHP 2020, Lecco, Italy, September 9–11, 2020, Proceedings, Part IIIn recent years, assistive technology and digital accessibility for blind and visually impaired people (BVIP) has been signi cantly improved. Yet, group discussions, especially in a business context, are still challenging as non-verbal communication (NVC) is often depicted on digital whiteboards, including deictic gestures paired with visual artifacts. However, as NVC heavily relies on the visual perception, which represents a large ...Conference Paper -
Pointing Gesture Based User Interaction of Tool Supported Brainstorming Meetings
(2020)Lecture Notes in Computer Science ~ Computers Helping People with Special Needs, 17th International Conference, ICCHP 2020, Lecco, Italy, September 9–11, 2020, Proceedings, Part IIThis paper presents a brainstorming tool combined with pointing gestures to improve the brainstorming meeting experience for blind and visually impaired people (BVIP). In brainstorming meetings, BVIPs are not able to participate in the conversation as well as sighted users because of the unavailability of supporting tools for understanding the explicit and implicit meaning of the non-verbal communication (NVC). Therefore, the proposed ...Conference Paper -

Depending on their impairment, they are either unable to perceive relational gestures within performed by sighted people, or they are unable to perform gestures by themselves in such an Information space (in case of motoric impairments such as cerebral palsy).

Accessibility of Co-Located Meetings
(2022)Lecture Notes in Computer Science ~ Computers Helping People with Special NeedsNon-verbal communication is an important carrier of information. Even though the spoken word can be heard by blind and visually impaired persons, up to 60% of the overall information still remains inaccessibly to them due to its visual character [11]. However, there is a wide spectrum of non-verbal communication elements, and not all of them are of the same importance. In particular for group meetings, facial expressions and pointing ...Conference Paper
