In this repository, we present scenarios on assistive technology use collected from participants over a two week study. Through this information, we hope to convey a long-tail of accessibility needs: the vast range of unique scenarios encountered in day-to-day life that contributes to a need for personalized assistive technology. The information here was summarized by the authors to preserve anonymity. For more information about how this information was collected, please see our full paper!
