About

Eleni Angoura is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of emerging technologies and inclusive design, with a primary focus on making smart libraries and cultural spaces accessible to visually impaired individuals. Her most-cited work, "Emerging Technologies in Smart Libraries for Visually Impaired People: Challenges and Design Considerations" (2025), has already garnered 4 citations, signaling growing recognition of her contributions. In this seminal paper, Angoura critically examines how autonomous robots, eXtended Reality, AI, Digital Twins, and the Internet of Things can be harnessed—or hindered—in their ability to foster inclusivity. She identifies key design challenges and proposes actionable considerations to ensure these technologies do not inadvertently exclude vulnerable populations. Angoura’s research stands out for its practical, user-centered approach, bridging the gap between rapid technological innovation and the real-world needs of people with disabilities. By centering accessibility in the discourse on smart libraries, she is helping to shape a future where cultural and educational spaces are truly open to all. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers in human-computer interaction, assistive technology, and inclusive design.
