Exploring Deaf And Hard of Hearing Peoples' Perspectives On Tasks In Augmented Reality: Interacting With 3D Objects And Instructional Comprehension (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mojib Luna, S., Xu, J., Tigwell, G. W., LaLone, N., Saker, M., Chamberlain, A., Schwartz, D. I., & Papangelis, K. (2025, April). Exploring Deaf And Hard of Hearing Peoples' Perspectives On Tasks In Augmented Reality: Interacting With 3D Objects And Instructional Comprehension. Presented at 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, Yokohama, Japan

Tasks in augmented reality (AR), such as 3D interaction and instructional comprehension, are often designed for users with uniform sensory abilities. Such an approach, however, can overlook the more nuanced needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) use...
