PECASE: Universal Access to the Graphical User Interface: Design for the Partially Sighted

9732978 Jacko这项研究寻求解决为拥有不同视觉能力的用户群体设计计算机界面的技术挑战。这项研究的理论贡献将是人类视力的临床和功能评估与部分视力计算机用户在执行需要使用图形用户界面的任务时表现出的行为和策略之间的经验联系。这项研究的实际贡献将是确定将用户与软件和硬件组合进行匹配的更系统的方法，以适应个人用户的视觉轮廓。这项研究将被整合到工业工程和计算机科学的本科课程中，并将促进工业工程新研究生课程的开发，这些课程的重点是为视觉有困难的人设计先进技术。***

9732978 Jacko This research seeks solutions to the technical challenges of designing computer interfaces for user populations possessing diverse visual capabilities. The theoretical contribution of the research will be an empirical link between clinical and functional assessments of human vision and the behaviors and strategies exhibited by partially sighted computer users while performing tasks requiring use of graphical user interfaces. The practical contribution of the research will be the identification of more systematic approaches to matching users with software and hardware combinations that will accommodate individual users' visual profiles. This research will be integrated into undergraduate courses in industrial engineering and computer science, and will enhance the development of new graduate courses in industrial engineering that center upon the design of advanced technologies for people who are visually challenged. ***
