Last week I passed my viva, subject to minor thesis corrections!
I’ve also had a Late-Breaking Work submission accepted to CHI, which discusses recent work I’ve been doing on the ABBI (Audio Bracelet for Blind Interaction) project. The paper, titled “Using Sound to Help Visually Impaired Children Play Independently”, describes initial requirement capture and prototyping for a system which uses iBeacons and a ‘smart’ bracelet to help blind and visually impaired children during play time at nursery and school.
Finally, we’ve also had a position paper accepted to the CHI ’16 workshop on mid-air haptics and displays. It outlines mid-air haptics research we have been doing at Glasgow and discusses how it can inform the creation of more usable mid-air widgets for in-air interfaces.
