Introduction to this Issue

Introduction to this Issue This issue of ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing begins with one article that is an extended version of a conference paper presented at the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS’16), which was held in Reno, Nevada, USA, October 24–26, 2016. Our previous issue of TACCESS contained five articles that were also based on extended con- ference papers from ASSETS’16; this article is presented here as an addendum. This manuscript underwent a full review process; the journal editors thank the reviewers for the journal who con- tributed their time and expertise to this process. The article is entitled “Visually Augmented Audio-tactile Graphics for Visually Impaired People.” It describes a novel system for producing tactile graphics with auditory feedback based on 3D-printed materials overlaid on smartphones or tablet computers. The authors present a case study with a prototype of their technology used to present maps in a study with participants with visual impairments. Following this article, we are pleased to present several additional articles that were reviewed and accepted to the journal through its regular submission process. Matt Huenerfauth Kathleen F.

Abstract

This issue of ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing begins with one article that is an extended version of a conference paper presented at the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS’16), which was held in Reno, Nevada, USA, October 24–26, 2016. Our previous issue of TACCESS contained five articles that were also based on extended con- ference papers from ASSETS’16; this article is presented here as an addendum. This manuscript underwent a full review process; the journal editors thank the reviewers for the journal who con- tributed their time and expertise to this process. The article is entitled “Visually Augmented Audio-tactile Graphics for Visually Impaired People.” It describes a novel system for producing tactile graphics with auditory feedback based on 3D-printed materials overlaid on smartphones or tablet computers. The authors present a case study with a prototype of their technology used to present maps in a study with participants with visual impairments. Following this article, we are pleased to present several additional articles that were reviewed and accepted to the journal through its regular submission process. Matt Huenerfauth Kathleen F.
