- Abstract
- We examine gestures that people with visual impairments define and would like to use to control interactive devices and systems. To this end, we perform a systematic search of the literature on gesture elicitation consisting of 249 papers published between 1994 and 2019, from which we identify 12 studies (4.8%) that explicitly elicited gesture preferences from users with visual impairments and/or examined the consistency of their gesture articulations. We compile a set of 53 user-defined touch, motion, mid-air, and stroke-gestures to effect 44 functions on smartphones, TVs, and tangible UIs. We point to several lacunae in our community’s current knowledge of gestures preferred by users with visual impairments.
