TL;DR: Eyes-Free Yoga is developed, an exergame using the Microsoft Kinect that acts as a yoga instructor, teaches six yoga poses, and has customized auditory-only feedback based on skeletal tracking that found participants enjoyed the game, and the extra auditory feedback helped their understanding of each pose.

TL;DR: An end-to-end investigation into gender differences with spreadsheet software showed gender differences in feature usage, feature-related confidence, and tinkering (playful exploration) with features.

TL;DR: A VR game based on an accessible real-world game called Showdown, where people use their hearing to locate and hit a ball against an opponent and developed Verbal and Verbal/Vibration Scaffolds to teach people how to play Virtual Showdown.

TL;DR: A fresh look is taken, from a debugging perspective, at the approaches of end users as they attempted to create mashups, revealing the end users’ debugging strategies and strategy barriers, the gender differences between the debugging strategies males and females followed and the features they used, and how their debugging successes and difficulties interacted with their design behaviors.
