Digital Government: Information Technology Accomodation Research: Open a Door to Universal Access

EIA-0071126Nass，CliffordStanford University数字政府：信息技术住宿研究：打开通向通用接入的大门本提案描述了一个合作研究项目，涉及：斯坦福大学、社会保障管理局、人口普查局和总务管理局(GSA)。这项研究的目标是使伙伴机构能够更好地容纳盲人和视障计算机用户，并允许开发更新的、较小的存取器系统，用于斯坦福大学正在开发的全面接入系统。该项目的长期目标是创造使能技术，支持人口普查局和其他联邦机构的残疾人工作人员，并将这些技术转移到私营部门。研究将在三年内进行。第一年将侧重于选择和评估适当技术的研究，为盲人开发一个原型准入系统，并记录其可用性。在第二年，原型将根据可用性测试结果进行改进，全面接入系统技术将进行升级。将开发开发所需的关键技术(多模式输入和微型化)并进行原型设计。第三年将把这些技术整合到一个Kiosk原型中。

EIA-0071126Nass, CliffordStanford UniversityDigital Government: Information Technology Accommodation Research: Open a Door to Universal AccessThis proposal describes a collaborative research project involving: Stanford University, Social Security Administration, Census Bureau, and General Services Administration (GSA). The goal of this research is to enable the partner agencies to better accommodate blind and visually impaired computer users, and to permit development of newer, smaller accessor systems for use with the Total Access System, a technology under development at Stanford. The long-term goal of this project is to create enabling technology that supports disabled members of the workforce at the Census Bureau and other Federal agencies and to transfer these technologies to the private sector.The research will be conducted over a three-year period. Year one will focus on the research to select and evaluate appropriate technologies and develop a prototype access system for the blind and to document its usability. During year two, the prototype will be improved based on usability test results and the Total Access System technology will be upgraded. Key technologies necessary for development (multi-modal input and miniaturization) will be developed and prototyped. The third year will bring these technologies together in a kiosk prototype.
