The linear layout of the EZ ballot structure fundamentally re-conceptualizes ballot design to provide the same simple and intuitive voting experience for all voters, regardless of ability or input\/output (I\/O) device used. Three students are currently conducting a formative study to identify the usability issues.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGesture Interface Magnifiers for Low-Vision Users\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETina presented her previous work that compared different types of magnification and navigation methods on low-vision handheld magnifiers to determine the feasibility of a touch screen gesture interface. The results show that gestures were faster and more preferred than the indirect input methods for pushing a button or rotating a knob. The study suggests that the use of gestures may afford an alternative and more natural magnification and navigation method for a new user-centric low vision magnifier.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ETina Lee, Xiao Xiong, Elaine Liu, and Jon Sanford attended the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computing and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012), Boulder, Colorado, 22-24th October.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27384","created_gmt":"2013-01-28 14:33:51","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:33","author":"Summer Ienuso","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2012-10-22T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2012-10-22T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"187371":{"id":"187371","type":"image","title":"Xiong, Sanford, Liu, and Lee at ASSETS 2012 in Colorado","body":null,"created":"1449179090","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:44:50","changed":"1475894835","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:15","alt":"Xiong, Sanford, Liu, and Lee at ASSETS 2012 in Colorado","file":{"fid":"196188","name":"assets_conference.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/assets_conference_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/assets_conference_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":441614,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/assets_conference_0.jpg?itok=pEmr1ZJa"}}},"media_ids":["187371"],"groups":[{"id":"1233","name":"CATEA - Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access"}],"categories":[{"id":"42921","name":"Exhibitions"}],"keywords":[{"id":"27581","name":"2012"},{"id":"56611","name":"ASSETS"},{"id":"8083","name":"Lee"},{"id":"171249","name":"Sanford"},{"id":"171250","name":"SIGACCESS"},{"id":"56591","name":"Xiong"},{"id":"56601","name":"Yilin"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESummer Ienuso\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:summer.ienuso@gatech.edu\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;summer.ienuso@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["summer.ienuso@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
