Abstract
In this paper we present a study with a group of mobility impaired
individuals (paraplegic and quadriplegic). The goal of the study was
to unveil usability issues with current user interfaces and to derive
design recommendations towards the development of future
mobility impaired-oriented user interfaces that facilitate an
integrated access to several communication and social media
services in a unified user experience. We focused our analysis on
hardware interfaces, considering modalities beyond the more
traditional keyboard and mouse, like touch or speech interaction,
and on specific computer-mediated communication software
interfaces for services such as email, agenda, audio and video
conferencing, and social media services. Our study revealed that
multimodal interfaces, in particular those that include the speech
modality, may help overcome observed interaction difficulties both
on the mobile and desktop platforms
