In this paper, we analyze the physical characteristics of a user with both visual and motor impairment, as well as the user’s context of smartphone use. In order to facilitate navigation using gestures that are easy to do by users with motor and visual impairment, we designed two hardware solutions as physical switches: a case mounted on the phone, and an electronic bracelet. We present the low fidelity prototype of both devices, the proposed user gestures, and their advantages and disadvantages.
