- Abstract summary: Most software applications contain graphics such as charts, diagrams and maps.
Currently, these graphics are designed with a one size fits all" approach and do not cater to the needs of people with disabilities.
Our research addresses this issue by developing a framework that generates adaptive and accessible information graphics.

- Abstract: Most software applications contain graphics such as charts, diagrams and
maps. Currently, these graphics are designed with a ``one size fits all"
approach and do not cater to the needs of people with disabilities. Therefore,
when using software with graphics, a colour-impaired user may struggle to
interpret graphics with certain colours, and a person with dyslexia may
struggle to read the text labels in the graphic. Our research addresses this
issue by developing a framework that generates adaptive and accessible
information graphics for multiple disabilities. Uniquely, the approach also
serves people with multiple simultaneous disabilities. To achieve these, we
used a case study of public space floorplans presented via a web tool and
worked with four disability groups: people with low vision, colour blindness,
dyslexia and mobility impairment. Our research involved gathering requirements
from 3 accessibility experts and 80 participants with disabilities, developing
a system to generate adaptive graphics that address the identified
requirements, and conducting an evaluation with 7 participants with
disabilities. The evaluation showed that users found our solution easy to use
and suitable for most of their requirements. The study also provides
recommendations for front-end developers on engineering accessible graphics for
their software and discusses the implications of our work on society from the
perspective of public space owners and end users.

We address the choice of viewpoint during sketch creation in Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-SBIR)
A pilot study highlights the system's struggle when query-sketches differ in viewpoint from target instances.
To reconcile this, we advocate for a view-aware system, seamlessly accommodating both view-agnostic and view-specific tasks.

Visual-impaired communities are one of the hindrances groups to accessing web content access in the world.
Five main problems including access limited by the impairment, usability issues due to lack of design, unavailability of visually impaired-friendly applications, lack of communication, and web navigation issues are the most dominant issues.

We present BiaScope, an interactive visualization tool that supports end-to-end visual unfairness diagnosis for graph embeddings.
It allows the user to (i.e. visually compare two embeddings with respect to fairness, (ii) locate nodes or graph communities that are unfairly embedded, and (iii) understand the source of bias by interactively linking the relevant embedding subspace with the corresponding graph topology.

The course introduced three accessibility-related topics using various interventions: Accessibility Awareness (a guest lecture by a legal expert), Technical Knowledge (lectures on Android accessibility guidelines and testing practices), and Empathy (an activity that required students to blindfold themselves and interact with their phones using a screen-reader)
All students could correctly identify at least one accessibility issue in the user interface of a real-world app given its screenshot, and 90% of them could provide a correct solution to fix it.
