Interactive Accessibility: Breaking Barriers to the Power of Computing

小行星9303152 该奖项为支持交互式计算研究的实验室提供基础设施，特别是因为它涉及到人机界面研究。 主要研究人员来自计算机科学系和工业与系统工程系。 此外，还与海军研究实验室和布莱克斯堡电子村进行了大量合作。 这些实验室是可用性方法研究实验室、交互技术实验室和信息访问实验室。 该奖项由跨学科活动（CDA）办公室和信息，机器人和智能系统（IRIS）部门共同资助。 实验室的仪器由CDA提供支持，而研究则由IRIS提供支持。 在实验室进行的具体研究包括确定和克服未来的可用性和概念上的障碍，计算，评估方法的发展，以确定人/计算机接口的有效性，开发环境进行人/计算机接口实验，开发基于专家的信息系统，系统的发展，为残疾人用户访问计算机，为残疾人使用计算机开发系统，并为大型数据库系统开发几个基于域的接口。

9303152 Ehrich This award provides infrastructure for the support of laboratories for research in interactive computing, especially as it relates to human/computer interface studies. The principal investigators are drawn from the department of Computer Science and the department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. In addition, there are substantial collaborations with the Naval Research Laboratory and the Blacksburg Electronic Village. The laboratories are a Usability Methods Research Laboratory, an Interaction Technology Laboratory, and an Information Access Laboratory. This award is being jointly funded by the Cross Disciplinary Activities (CDA) Office and the Information, Robotics, and Intelligent Systems (IRIS) Division. The Instrumentation for the laboratories is being supported by CDA while the research is being supported by IRIS. The specific research performed in the laboratories includes identifying and over coming usability and conceptional barriers to computing, the development of evaluation methodologies for determining the effectiveness of human/computer interfaces, development of environments for performing human/computer interface experiments, the development of expert-based information systems, the development of systems for access to computers for disabled users, and development of systems for access to computers for disabled users, and development of several domain based interfaces for large data base systems.
