SDDP CARDIAC II: Influence Tree for the Road-map on inclusive HCI research and development priorities for WP3
|
Executive Summary
This report has been developed in the context of the Cardiac project (FP7 - Coordinating Action: Grant Agreement 248582). The goal of the project is to create a platform that can bring together the various stakeholders in the area of accessible and assistive ICT with a view to identifying Research & Development gaps and emerging trends and generating a research agenda roadmap.
The Triggering Question (TQ) was
What type of research is missing that could facilitate development of inclusive HCI
In response to the TQ, the 22 participants came up with 75 characteristics, which were categorized in 18 clusters. Following the voting process, 50 ideas received one or more votes and were structured to create the influence MAP shown below.
According to the participants of this workshop, the characteristics appear to be the most influential were:
- Characteristic #21, Consider not only the interface as it appears but the entire interaction dialogue
- Characteristic #29, Research methodologies that efficiently collect data about users including existing HCI quantitative tools (like needs, skills,interests, limitations)
- Characteristic #32, Support research that looks how to reduce the complexity of user interaction whilst retaining functionality
- Characteristic #41, Use reasoning (AI) techniques for personalization
The workshop was facilitated by Yiannis Laouris (CNTI), Georgina Siitta Achilleos and Tatjana Taraszow (CNTI). The workshop was attended by 22 participants from all over Europe.
In sum, the participants of the dialogue reported their satisfaction that their voices have been heard and documented and communicated their expectations for follow-up activities to address the diagnosis of their needs.
