Evidence-based Universal Design Guidelines for Augmented Reality
My Ph.D. project aims to produce a set of Evidence-based Universal Design Guidelines for Augmented Reality (AR). Universal Design of ICT can be described as the quality of being able to use/interact with digital content regardless of the users’ diverse background, skills, abilities, preferences, and circumstances.
The developed Guidelines aim to achieve social, academic, and industrial impact by generating new knowledge.
● Social impact: Evidence-based design recommendations will enhance the accessibility and usability of AR applications, making the technology and its novel features available to broad audiences.
● Academic impact: The research will advance the state-of-the-art in research fields such as Human-Computer Interaction, Universal Design of ICT, and Digital Accessibility.
● Industry impact: The published guidelines and evaluation framework can help businesses provide a better and more accessible UX to their users, thus expanding the market of possible customers.
