A Cross-Modal Collaborative Tool for Workplace Inclusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design of a cross-modal tool for collaborative diagram editing. The tool was designed to address the challenge of supporting collaborators who access a shared interactive space through different sets of modalities. This was achieved by augmenting a visual diagram editor with auditory and haptic views to allow simultaneous visual and non-visual interaction.

Designing for Collaborative Cross-modal Interaction
We describe the design of a collaborative cross-modal tool that supports visually-impaired and sighted coworkers to access and edit shared diagrams in real time and a case study of its use in a real world workplace environment. Our findings highlight the potential of cross-modal collaboration to improve workplace inclusion and identify initial challenges and opportunities for cross-modal design.
متن کاملCross-modal Collaborative Interaction between Visually-impaired and Sighted Users in the Workplace
We present a detailed description of the design and integration of auditory and haptic displays in a collaborative diagram editing tool to allow simultaneous visual and non-visual interaction. The tool was deployed in various workplaces where visually-impaired and sighted coworkers access and edit diagrams as part of their daily jobs. We use our initial observations and analyses of the recorded...
متن کاملCollaborative Cross-Modal Interfaces
Diagrams form a key part of how we collaborate in the workplace and the home. However, the visual nature of diagrams makes them difficult to use and manipulate when people have differing perceptual resources available to them, for example, due to visual impairment, or reduced access to computing and network bandwidth. In this paper we describe the potential for cross-modal interfaces to support...

متن کاملActivity Theory as a Tool for Identifying Design Patterns in Cross-Modal Collaborative Interaction
This paper examines the question of how to uncover patterns from the process of designing cross-modal collaborative systems. We describe how we use activity patterns as an approach to guide this process and discuss its potential as a practical method for developing design patterns.
