Many of the 3.8 million Canadians with a physical, cognitive, or sensory disability have difficulty using computer technology or find that it does not fully meet their needs. The objective of this research is to improve the inclusivity of social computing environments, with accessible interfaces that leverage tangible, ambient, or wearable technologies to improve access. These pervasive technologies embed computing power into everyday objects, and can be used to make familiar and easy-to-use interfaces to complex systems. The research results will enhance the social interaction options of a large number of older, disabled, or otherwise disadvantaged individuals.

在380万加拿大身体、认知或感官残疾的人中，许多人在使用计算机技术方面存在困难，或者发现它不能完全满足他们的需求。这项研究的目标是提高社交计算环境的包容性，通过利用有形、环境或可穿戴技术的可访问界面来改善访问。这些无处不在的技术将计算能力嵌入到日常物品中，可以用来制作人们熟悉的、易于使用的复杂系统界面。研究结果将增加大量老年人、残疾人或其他弱势群体的社交选择。
