Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fuentes, C., Porcheron, M., Fischer, J. E., Costanza, E., Malik, O., & Ramchurn, S. D. (2019, May). Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials. Presented at CHI '19: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Glasgow, Scotland Uk

Predictions of people's behaviour increasingly drive interactions with a new generation of IoT services designed to support everyday life in the home, from shopping to heating. Based on the premise that such automation is difficult due to the conting... Read More about Tracking the Consumption of Home Essentials.

Supporting Awareness of Visual Impairments and Accessibility Reflections through Video Demos and Design Cards
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reyes-Cruz, G., Fischer, J., & Reeves, S. (2022, October). Supporting Awareness of Visual Impairments and Accessibility Reflections through Video Demos and Design Cards. Presented at Nordic Human-Computer Interaction Conference (NordiCHI ’22), Aarhus, Denmark

Disabled people's experiences and knowledge are oftentimes not central in design processes. Further, the burden of outreach and sensitising others to these experiences and knowledge is frequently not recognised. This paper offers a workshop approach...
