New information access technologies for people with intellectual disability

为智障人士提供新的信息获取技术。该项目旨在为智障人士共同设计一个社交、交互和可视化的互联网搜索界面。允许选择和独立是新的国家残疾保险计划的关键，但智障人士实际上被排除在大部分网络之外。该项目将研究使用互动化身、虚拟世界和可信社会支持等技术获取和提供信息的方法。新的界面将使智障人士能够了解自己，做出选择，并促进他们的社会包容。预期的结果是新的搜索界面技术、理论框架和新的网络无障碍指南。

New information access technologies for people with intellectual disability. This project aims to co-design a social, interactive and visual internet search interface for people with intellectual disability. Enabling choice and independence is key to the new National Disability Insurance Scheme, but people with intellectual disability are effectively excluded from much of the Web. This project will investigate ways to access and provide information using technologies such as interactive avatars, virtual worlds and trusted social support. New interfaces will enable people with intellectual disability to inform themselves, make choices and foster their social inclusion. Expected outcomes are new search interface technology, a theoretical framework and new Web accessibility guidelines.
