About
Dr. Suzy Su is a pioneering researcher in accessible human-computer interaction, with a primary focus on inclusive media technologies for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) community. Her most notable contribution is the introduction of "Signmaku," a novel video commenting system that replaces traditional text-based danmaku with American Sign Language (ASL) overlays. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 10 citations, directly addresses a critical gap in online video engagement by recognizing that for many DHH individuals, ASL is their primary language. Dr. Su's research challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to digital accessibility, demonstrating how user interfaces can be redesigned to honor linguistic diversity rather than simply translating text. Her findings have significant implications for platforms like YouTube and Twitch, offering a blueprint for more equitable social viewing experiences. By centering the needs of a marginalized community in her design process, Dr. Su exemplifies how thoughtful, user-driven research can transform everyday technology into a tool for genuine inclusion. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in accessible computing, universal design, or the future of social media.
