N2 - Significant obstacles persist in meeting the accessibility needs of computer and smartphone users with mild-to-moderate upper limb motor impairments as they use their devices at work and home. Multimodal input can help, but has not been widely adopted. We build on existing literature with a discovery survey and semistructured follow-up interviews in which we identify common themes related to the limitations of today’s solutions and the ad hoc workarounds which are adopted.
