Deceptive Design And Disability: How Dark Patterns Affect Users With Visual Impairments, Konstantin Metz
Graduate Studies Theses and Dissertations 2026
Dark patterns are deceptive interface designs that steer users toward unintended actions, often at financial or privacy cost. This thesis examines how those that are vision impaired are at greater risk of these dark patterns given their visual acuity deficit. We conducted semi structured interviews with nine participants across common contexts including e-commerce checkout, subscription and cancellation flows, software download pages, and mobile permission prompts. The data show recurring exposure to dark patterns such as hidden or de-emphasized fees, pre-selected add-ons, deceptive advertising and fake download buttons along with unequal consent paths, repeated permission nagging, and cancellation friction. Participants reported …

Enterprise Resource Planning systems have evolved from transactional processing tools into strategic digital backbones that orchestrate organizational value creation. This research examines how modern ERP implementations transcend traditional operational efficiency goals to enable continuous innovation, real-time decision-making, and ecosystem integration. Through analysis of contemporary ERP architectures and their impact on organizational capabilities, we demonstrate that successful digital transformation requires reconceptualizing ERP not as a software package but as an adaptive infrastructure supporting diverse business models. Our findings reveal that organizations treating ERP as a digital backbone achieve 35% higher agility scores and 42% faster time-to-market for new capabilities compared to …

Smart Home System has facilitated the control of home appliances through computer system. However, the physical interactions between the user and existing graphical user interface such as pointing and clicking button could be a challenge to elderly, whom are generally having vision and motor impairment. This project specifically focuses on the development of a user interface that does not require physical interaction. In this regard, a prototype smart home system namely Natural Language Instruction Driven System (NLIDS) that employed natural language (speech) based user interface has been developed. The prototype system consists of three modules, which are Input & Response …
