Mobile phone in use

Mobile accessibility

With Chandrika Jayant, Jacob Wobbrock and Richard Ladner. Through interviews and diary studies, we are exploring the ways in which people with visual and motor impairments acquire, adapt and use mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs.

Bonfire prototype on a laptop

Bonfire

With Daniel Avrahami, Jacob Wobbrock, Beverly Harrison, Adam Rea, Matthai Philipose and Anthony LaMarca. Bonfire is a prototype system that enables new interactions with laptop computers while on the go. Bonfire augments a laptop with micro-projectors and cameras to enable interactions with gestures and objects in the space around the laptop.

Walking User Interfaces

With Jacob Wobbrock and Ian Smith. We designed a prototype mobile device user interface that could adapt its interface when the user is walking to improve readable and touch screen selection accuracy.

Cross-device User Interfaces

With Amy Karlson, Brian Meyers, Andy Jacobs, Paul Johns, and Greg Smith. We investigated how smartphone users browsed the web on their mobile device, and how they shared web information between their PCs and mobile devices.
