Seamless Inclusion

The talk deals with two scenarios.
The first concerns physical impairment and prosthetics as an interface for augmented reality. Body sensing technologies are both used to restore dexterity and sensory feedback and to provide a wider interaction with the IoT. The case studies will be focused on home automation and computing.
The second concerns visual impairment and the use of conversational interactions to improve the accessibility of complex digital products and physical spaces. The case studies will compare web and urban navigation techniques.
The two scenarios express a larger phenomenon, involving impairment as an opportunity for Inclusive Design in Augmented Reality.
