Mobile HCI

Research Highlights

Our research focuses on designing and developing novel interactive techniques to improve usability and accessibility of user interaction with touch-screen mobile devices (e.g., smartphones). In particularly, we have developed techniques to allow easier web navigation on smartphones for both sighted and visually impaired users, and techniques that support one-handed interactions with such devices.
