[Access Lunch] Next Week Speaker: Yi-hao Peng

[Francisco Calisto]

Hello All,

Next week, we will have Yi-hao Peng presenting his work titled "*Diffscriber:
Describing Visual Design Changes to Support Mixed-Ability Collaborative
Presentation Authoring*" and published in UIST 2022. As follows, you will
have the document and abstract. We hope to see you all physically or
remotely via Zoom!

Abstract

Visual slide-based presentations are ubiquitous, yet slide authoring tools
are largely inaccessible to people who are blind or visually impaired
(BVI). When authoring presentations, the 9 BVI presenters in our formative
study usually work with sighted collaborators to produce visual slides
based on the text content they produce. While BVI presenters valued
collaborators’ visual design skill, the collaborators often felt they could
not fully review and provide feedback on the visual changes that were made.
We present Diffscriber, a system that identifies and describes changes to a
slide’s content, layout, and style for presentation authoring. Using our
system, BVI presentation authors can efficiently review changes to their
presentation by navigating either a summary of high-level changes or
individual slide elements. To learn more about changes of interest,
presenters can use a generated change hierarchy to navigate to lower-level
change details and element styles. BVI presenters using Diffscriber were
able to identify slide design changes and provide feedback more easily as
compared to using only the slides alone. More broadly, Diffscriber
illustrates how advances in detecting and describing visual differences can
improve mixed-ability collaboration.
