disabilities, accessibility, musical instruments, human computer interfaces
Contemporary digital musical instruments (DMI) are based on complex interfaces that are usually designed by and targeted towards people without disabilities. Visually-impaired people and people with motor diseases may require a long training to make use of DMI, or may not be capable of using them at all. This research project aims at improving the accessibility of existent DMI and provide insights to foster the design of novel accessible DMI
Currently, two key technologies are explored: screen readers and brain-computer interfaces. Several avenues are explored to improve these enabling technology and evaluating with partners what design strategy could make the technologies more valuable.
