  EICS 2024 marks the sixteenth international ACM SIGCHI conference, focused on engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces. The conference explores research at the intersection of user interface design, software engineering, and computational interaction. Our research paper, " All in One Place: Ensuring Usable Access to Online Shopping Items for Blind Users ," was published in the June 2024 issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, Volume 8, in the EICS category . In this blog post, I will summarize our research paper, which focuses on alleviating the significant interaction challenges that blind users encounter when navigating through dispersed content across multiple sections and pages on shopping websites. These issues arise because information related to shopping items is frequently spread across different web page sect...

We're happy that our research paper, titled " Enabling Customization of Discussion Forums for Blind Users " has been recognized at EICS 2023  which happened in Swansea, UK. Our paper focuses on making online discussion platforms more usable for people who are blind. The conference is well-known for its thorough distribution of research findings in human-computer interface and software engineering. This conference serves as a hub, bringing together many researchers and experts in the field, encouraging collaboration, and providing a platform for the exchange of knowledge and creative ideas. Being a part of this conference provides us with a great chance to discuss our results and work with others who are dedicated to enhancing technology for all users. Workshops: This year's edition of EICS Conference is about to start with the Doctoral Consortium! We are looking forward to lively discussions and a great conference @SwanseaUni #ComputationalFoundry #BayCampus pic.tw...

EICS 2023 is the 15th international ACM SIGCHI conference, dedicated to engineering interactive computing systems and their user interfaces. The conference has gained recognition for its commitment to advancing research at the intersection of user interface design, software engineering, and computational interaction. EICS provides a platform for contributions that elevate the standards in the engineering of interactive systems. In this blog post, I delve into our research paper titled " Enabling Customization of Discussion Forums for Blind Users ," published in the June 2023 issue of Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, Volume 7, under the EICS category . In our research, we aimed to unravel the myriad usability challenges encountered by blind participants in online discussion forums. To achieve this, we conducted an interview study involving 12 blind participants with prior experience in online discussion forums. Drawing insights from their usability chall...
