FireScanner: A Browser Scanning Add-On for Users with Motor Impairments

The web has become the most commonly used gateway to information, commerce and entertainment. As a result, accessing online resources without any barriers has turned to be of utmost importance for all the citizens of the Information Society. One common obstacle faced by users with motor impairments of the upper limbs is their difficulty to interact with a computer application using standard input devices, such as the keyboard and the mouse. This paper presents a browser add-on, named FireScanner, providing access to the web for people with hand motor impairments, through the scanning technique.
