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380万有身体、认知或感官残疾的加拿大人中，有许多人在使用计算机技术方面有困难，或者发现计算机技术不能完全满足他们的需求。这项研究的目的是提高社会计算环境的包容性，利用有形的，环境的，或可穿戴的技术，以提高访问的可访问的接口。这些普及技术将计算能力嵌入到日常物品中，并可用于为复杂系统提供熟悉且易于使用的界面。研究结果将增强大量老年人、残疾人或其他弱势群体的社会互动选择。
