MAPS: Recent developments and ongoing research
topics
(download slides)
Abstract
This will be a progress report on my ongoing
PhD research: developing systems and tools that assist persons with cognitive
disabilities and their support communities by leveraging existing abilities.
My research vehicle, MAPS (Memory Aiding Prompting System), part of the CLever
project, instantiates many L3D themes such as end user development, situated
action, and distributed cognition. This presentation will be in two parts: the
first will be a rehearsal and request for comments on a short paper I will be
giving at CHI next week: End User Programming and Context Responsiveness
in Handheld Prompting Systems for Persons with Cognitive Disabilities and Caregivers. Following
this I will be discussing my recent work on this program: the ”image experiment” and
an extension to the caregivers script builder interface allowing annotation of
scripts to enable error trapping, correction and dynamic prompt generation. I
will also briefly sketch out the remaining work to be done on my dissertation.
