Abstract
of a framework for computer mediated expression. The computer's role in mediation is dual-both for enabling new forms of creative work as well as enabling creative work for populations for which it is not currently accessible, with the latter being the main focus of the work. The system consists of input, processing, and output stages. Simplicity of integration and modularity are the primary design goals which inform the architecture for the processing stage as well as the need for the interface layers to be universal and simple. Several input modalities have been realized and tested, including wearable IMU, airflow, and eye-tracking. One primary output modality has been constructed in the form of a robotic multi-color airbrush. Several evaluations were performed to assess the system's usability from a user's perspective as well as that of a developer. A survey was also conducted to evaluate the potential impact on the general publics perception of ability in the context of disability, particularly with respect to self-expression with paint.
