Intersecting Liminality: Acquiring a Smartphone as a Blind or Low Vision Older Adult | Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

You never know what a small #HCI research project might grow into. Interviews with blind older adults about smartphones for a disability org webinar turned into a #DIS2023 poster 🖼️, Smartphone Stories, and later a theory paper 📄, Intersecting Liminality, at #ASSETS2024!

I’m thrilled that both research papers were recognized! 🏅
Our #ASSETS2024 Intersecting Liminality paper was a Best Paper nominee, and our #RESPECT2025 student STEM access paper received an Honorable Mention “Exemplary Paper” award.

Learning to use a smartphone as a blind person isn’t just tech adoption. It’s a life transition.

In our #ASSETS2024 paper, Intersecting Liminality, we explored how processes of aging, vision loss, and technology learning overlap.

#ASSETS2024 was lovely. There are still plenty of folks I didn't get the chance to meet in person and chat with, so here's hoping I can make it back (with more work under my belt) someday.

Impromptu data-focused meetup for lunch at ASSETS!

If you're interested in chatting with other folks about visualizations, tactile, sonifications and other systems related to working with accessible data, find our table! #ASSETS2024

Less than a month until the #ASSETS2024 workshops deadline! ASSETS is the premier ACM forum for computing research for and with people with disabilities & older adults. Workshops will be held online the week of October 21st. More details: assets24.sigaccess.org/authors/work...
