Beyond Descriptions: A Generative Scene2Audio Framework for Blind and Low-Vision Users to Experience Vista Landscapes

Current scene perception tools for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) individuals rely on spoken descriptions but lack engaging representations of visually pleasing distant environmental landscapes (Vista spaces). Our proposed Scene2Audio framework generates comprehensible and enjoyable nonverbal audio using generative models…

Towards LLM-powered Assistive Drone for Blind and Low Vision Users

Drones have gained traction as a versatile form of assistive robots for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) people. Nonetheless, novel interaction techniques are required to enable BLV people to communicate with drones naturally. In this work, we built an LLM-powered assistive drone for BLV users. We leverage an LLM to transla…

Human Robot Interaction for Blind and Low Vision People: A Systematic Literature Review

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in using robots to support Blind and Low Vision (BLV) people in various tasks and contexts. However, the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community still lacks a shared understanding of what, where, and how robots can benefit BLV users in their daily lives. In light of th…

Firefighting with Drone Assistance: User Needs and Design Considerations for Thailand

Drones are increasingly being deployed to assist firefighting crews in their missions, with the technology being chosen based on availability, rather than aligned with their specific needs. This phenomenon is exacerbated in the Global South, where infrastructure is scarce and where specific processes and user needs ha…

SafeSpect: Safety-First Augmented Reality Heads-up Display for Drone Inspections

Current tablet-based interfaces for drone operations often impose a heavy cognitive load on pilots and reduce situational awareness by dividing attention between the video feed and the real world. To address these challenges, we designed a heads-up augmented reality (AR) interface that overlays in-situ information to…

3D Printed Interactive Multi-Storey Model for People with Visual Impairments: Co-Design Process and Comparative Study between a 3D Model and 2D Tactile Maps

The understanding of multi-level spatial topologies is a difficult and frequent challenge in people with visual impairments daily life, impacting their independent mobility. Using the tools of the “maker” movement, and following an iterative co-design process with Orientation and Mobility instructors, we created an i…

Tactile Fixations: A Behavioral Marker on How People with Visual Impairments Explore Raised-line Graphics

Raised-line graphics are tactile documents made for people with visual impairments (VI). Their exploration relies on a complex two-handed behavior. To better understand the cognitive processes underlying this exploration, we proposed a new method based on “tactile fixations”. A tactile fixation occurs when a finger is…

Review of Quantitative Empirical Evaluations of Technology for People with Visual Impairments

Addressing the needs of visually impaired people is of continued interest in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research. Yet, one of the major challenges facing researchers in this field continues to be how to design adequate quantitative empirical evaluation for these users in HCI. In this paper, we analyse a corpus o…

Robots for Inclusive Play: Co-designing an Educational Game With Visually Impaired and sighted Children

Despite being included in mainstream schools, visually impaired children still face barriers to social engagement and participation. Games could potentially help, but games that cater for both visually impaired and sighted players are scarce. We used a co-design approach to design and evaluate a robot-based educationa…

Inclusive Education Technologies: Emerging Opportunities for People with Visual Impairments

Technology has become central to many activities of learning, ranging from its use in classroom education to work training, mastering a new hobby, or acquiring new skills of living. While digitally-enhanced learning tools can provide valuable access to information and personalised support, people with specific accessi…
