Next-next generation interfaces and the technologies that will drive them provide new challenges to accessibility, as well as new tools for addressing these barriers. These new technologies can also help us address barriers that some people face with today’s technologies – barriers that we currently do not have good solutions for. This is particularly true for cognitive, language, and learning disabilities, deaf-blindness, blindness and intellectual impairments and other combinations of disabilities. Despite successes, it has become apparent that this work needs a new paradigm. Thus, this workshop aims to gather and engage mainstream and disability leaders and innovators in their fields to: a) Thoroughly explore all visions for the future of the interface; b) Gather all different thoughts, approaches, and paradigms from the best in the international accessibility community; and c) Create both mainstream and accessibility research agendas that can result in solutions for next-next generation interface technologies, to be available when these technologies enter the marketplace instead of five years or more behind them. As a byproduct of the workshop, a special website will be created, capturing all of the presentations, preparatory materials, and the final research agenda. The impact on society of more accessible product interfaces cannot be easily measured, but with the new estimates of a fifth to a quarter of the population having disabilities, and the increasing reliance on digital interfaces in everything we do, even in developing countries, the impact of more accessible interfaces will be quite significant, both to economies and to quality of life for large sectors of the population.This workshop will bring together leaders in mainstream human computer interaction and supporting technologies to help predict the future interface, as well as the best minds in accessibility to help imagine new approaches and methods to address these technologies. The result of just these two activities would be of great value to the field. The creation of both a mainstream technology and an accessibility research agenda will be of even more immediate and long-term use to academic researchers and students, and to developers in companies interested in practical ways to make their future product interfaces accessible. It will also be useful to consumer groups, funding agencies, policy makers, assistive technology developers, and independent researchers and developers in shaping their future work, agendas, and goals. The resulting research agenda is intended to be a living agenda that is updated over time and used by the broad range of stakeholders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

下一代一代界面和将驱动它们的技术为可访问性提供了新的挑战，以及解决这些障碍的新工具。这些新技术还可以帮助我们解决某些人面临当今技术的障碍 - 我们目前没有良好的解决方案。对于认知，语言和学习障碍，聋哑，失明和智力障碍以及其他残疾组合的尤其如此。尽管取得了成功，但显然这项工作需要新的范式。这是该研讨会旨在在其领域收集和吸引主流和残疾领导者和创新者：a）彻底探索界面未来的所有愿景； b）从国际可及性社区中最好的人中收集所有不同的想法，方法和范式； c）同时创建主流和可访问性研究议程，可以为下一代生成界面技术提供解决方案，当这些技术进入市场而不是落后五年或更长时间时，可以使用。作为研讨会的副产品，将创建一个特殊的网站，以捕获所有演讲，准备材料和最终研究议程。无法轻易衡量对更容易获得产品界面社会的影响，但是随着新的五分之一到四分之一的人口具有疾病的估计，并且越来越多地依赖我们所做的每件事中的数字界面，即使在发展中国家，更容易获得的界面的影响都将非常重要，无论是对经济和人类的质量而与人类的质量相互支持的人，这将是相互作用的领域。预测未来的界面，以及可访问性的最佳思想，以帮助想象新的方法和方法来解决这些技术。这两项活动的结果对该领域具有很高的价值。建立主流技术和可访问性研究议程将对学术研究人员和学生以及对实用方法感兴趣的公司的开发人员更加直接和长期使用，以使其未来的产品接口可以访问。它对消费者团体，资助机构，政策制定者，辅助技术开发人员以及独立的研究人员和开发人员也将很有用。塑造他们未来的工作，议程和目标。由此产生的研究议程旨在是一个随着时间的推移而更新并由广泛利益相关者使用的生动议程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
