Abstract

We have investigated the accessibility issues of the program selection menus of a digital television interface. Initially we have simulated interaction patterns of visually and mobility impaired users and based on the simulation we have made changes to the font size and layout of the existing interface. Finally we have evaluated the new interface through a user trial involving people with disabilities. The results show that the new interface reduced the average time to select a channel and number of wrong channel selections for most of the participants.

Control menus: excecution and control in a single interactor
CHI EA '00: CHI '00 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We propose a new type of contextual pop-up menu called a control menu. These menus combine the selection of an operation and the control of this operation. They integrate up to two scroll bars or spin-boxes and thus allow users to keep their attention ...
Split menus: effectively using selection frequency to organize menus

When some items in a menu are selected more frequently than others, as is often the case, designers or individual users may be able to speed performance and improve preference ratings by placing several high-frequency items at the top of the menu. Design ...
