"I Wish You Could Make the Camera Stand Still": Envisioning Media Accessibility Interventions with People with Aphasia

Audiovisual media is integral to modern living, yet is not always accessible to all. Modern accessibility interventions, such as subtitles, support many, however, communities with complex communication needs are largely unconsidered. In this work, we envision future accessibility interventions from the ground up with one such community - people with aphasia. Over two workshops and a probe activity, we problematise the space of audiovisual consumption by people with aphasia, and co-envision directions for development in accessible audiovisual media. From low-f diegetic prototypes to mid-fdelity solutions, we explore new visions of accessibility interventions for complex communication needs - notably enabling high levels of content manipulation and personalisation. Our fndings raise open questions and set directions for the research community in developing accessibility interventions for audiovisual media to support users with diverse needs in accessing audiovisual content.
