What’s your favorite piece of assistive technology that you use? What’s on your wishlist?
My favorite AT I use is my Apple Watch for executive functioning. My wishlist item is a Herman Miller desk chair for pain management....
Assistive access
Thank you everyone who clued me in on this a few days ago for my dad. Some questions still remain. I could not see phone numbers when I activated it. Google ai said they'd be in the Calls app, but I...
What do we think of assistive access on iOS 17?
I am using iPhone XR and it was kinda laggy? But it works too well as a dumb phone. What are yall opinions on it?...
Has anyone tried using Assistive Access on iPhone instead? I’m trying it out for a little…
This feature practically turns the iphone into a dumb phone - and doesn’t require an additional app. It has its limitations, but that seems like the point. I’m gonna try it out, and wanna know if...
Designing for Affective Augmentation: Assistive, Harmful, or Unfamiliar?
In what capacity are affective augmentations helpful to humans, and what risks (if any) do they pose? In this position paper, we outline three works on affective augmentation systems, where our studies suggest these systems have the ability to influe...

Why don’t you use an iPhone with Assistive Access?
I wonder if the majority of people even know about the option that you can easily turn an iPhone into a dumb phone. Why do you make life so difficult for yourselves?...
Developing Computational Models of Social Assistance to Guide Socially Assistive Robots
While there are many examples in which robots provide social assistance, a lack of theory on how the robots should decide how to assist impedes progress in realizing these technologies. To address this deficiency, we propose a pair of computational m...
Bharat Scene Text: A Novel Comprehensive Dataset and Benchmark for Indian Language Scene T…
Reading scene text, that is, text appearing in images, has numerous application areas, including assistive technology, search, and e-commerce. Although scene text recognition in English has advanced significantly and is often considered nearly a solv...
An Improved Wrist Kinematic Model for Human-Robot Interaction
Human kinematics is of fundamental importance for rehabilitation and assistive robotic systems that physically interact with human. The wrist plays an essential role for dexterous human-robot interaction, but its conventional kinematic model is overs...
Human Action Recognition in Egocentric Perspective Using 2D Object and Hands Pose
Egocentric action recognition is essential for healthcare and assistive technology that relies on egocentric cameras because it allows for the automatic and continuous monitoring of activities of daily living (ADLs) without requiring any conscious ef...
Sharing Practices for Datasets Related to Accessibility and Aging
Datasets sourced from people with disabilities and older adults play an important role in innovation, benchmarking, and mitigating bias for both assistive and inclusive AI-infused applications. However, they are scarce. We conduct a systematic review...
Open community platform for hearing aid algorithm research: open Master Hearing Aid (openM…
open Master Hearing Aid (openMHA) was developed and provided to the hearing aid research community as an open-source software platform with the aim to support sustainable and reproducible research towards improvement and new types of assistive hearin...
<button>: The Button element - HTML | MDN - MDN Web Docs
Feb 3, 2026 · The <button> HTML element is an interactive element activated by a user with a mouse, keyboard, finger, voice command, or other assistive technology. Once activated, it …
A Benchmark Grocery Dataset of Realworld Point Clouds From Single View
Fine-grained grocery object recognition is an important computer vision problem with broad applications in automatic checkout, in-store robotic navigation, and assistive technologies for the visually impaired. Existing datasets on groceries are mainl...
Exploring Interference between Concurrent Skin Stretches
Proprioception is essential for coordinating human movements and enhancing the performance of assistive robotic devices. Skin stretch feedback, which closely aligns with natural proprioception mechanisms, presents a promising method for conveying pro...
Irregular Metronomes as Assistive Devices to Promote Healthy Gait Patterns
Older adults and people suffering from neurodegenerative disease often experience difficulty controlling gait during locomotion, ultimately increasing their risk of falling. To combat these effects, researchers and clinicians have used metronomes as...
On the Ethical Considerations of Text Simplification
This paper outlines the ethical implications of text simplification within the framework of assistive systems. We argue that a distinction should be made between the technologies that perform text simplification and the realisation of these in assist...
Language-EXtended Indoor SLAM (LEXIS): A Versatile System for Real-time Visual Scene Under…
Versatile and adaptive semantic understanding would enable autonomous systems to comprehend and interact with their surroundings. Existing fixed-class models limit the adaptability of indoor mobile and assistive autonomous systems. In this work, we i...
A Review of Assistive Technologies for Activities of Daily Living of Elderly
One of the distinct features of this century has been the population of older adults which has been on a constant rise. Elderly people have several needs and requirements due to physical disabilities, cognitive issues, weakened memory and disorganize...
