Paper presentation at ICCHP 2024
Last week, Francesca Kaschnig presented a paper based on her Master thesis on Remote Collaboration Between Sighted and Non-Sighted People in Mixed-Ability Teams at ICCHP 2024 in Linz.
Remote work settings became increasingly important in recent years, which often inherently require collaboration at a distance. Hereby, especially in mixed-ability teams, different individuals might face different challenges. In this paper, we thus aim to analyze remote collaborative interaction between sighted and non-sighted users based on a qualitative study with twelve participants (six non-sighted) in three mixed-ability teams, who worked together on a problem solving task. Our analysis considers a variety of aspects related to the perception and closeness of collaboration, assistance and communication among team members, workspace awareness, territoriality, and triggers for problematic situations, and indicates both, challenges but also potentials of collaboration within mixed-ability teams.
