Abstract

Our work investigates the common problems experienced by mobile Web users and disabled desktop users. Leveraging research between these two domains is important because if common problems exist, available solutions can be migrated from one domain to another. For a proof of concept, we conducted a study with mobile Web users. The study replicated a previous experiment which investigated keyboard and mouse errors of motor impaired desktop users. Results confirm that these two domains share similar problems with regard to typing and pointing. Following the same methodology, we will investigate the problems shared by mobile Web users and disabled desktop users for output.
