A demonstration of phototacs: a simple image-based phone dialing interface for people with cognitive or visual impairments

Published: 13 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Modern cell phones are becoming increasingly complex, as more and more features are added to every new generation. These complex user interfaces can make even placing a call difficult for those with disabilities. This presentation demonstrates a fully-functional version of PhotoTacs, an easy-to-use image-based phone book, designed specifically for those with cognitive disabilities and visual impairments.
