Multimedia for Accessible Human Computer Interfaces is the first resource to
provide in-depth coverage of topical areas of multimedia computing (images, video,
audio, speech, haptics, and VR/AR) for accessible and inclusive human computer
interfaces. Topics are grouped into thematic areas spanning the human senses:
vision, hearing, touch, as well as multimodal applications. Each chapter is written by
different multimedia researchers to provide complementary and multidisciplinary
perspectives. Unlike other related books, which focus on guidelines for designing
accessible interfaces, or are dated in their coverage of cutting edge multimedia
technologies, Multimedia for Accessible Human Computer Interfaces takes an
application-oriented approach to present a tour of how the field of multimedia is
advancing access to human computer interfaces for individuals with disabilities.
