Accessibility

Although I am not currently working on accessibility, I have done some work in this area while working the HCI Lab, in ICS-FORTH. In lieu of a full description of the work we did there, here are some pointers to papers resulting from work done under the ACCSES, AVANTI and PALIO projects amongst others:
