Braillesketch: a Gesture-Based Text Input Method for People with Visual Impairments Mingzhe Li, Mingming Fan, Khai N
Session: Interaction Techniques and Frameworks ASSETS'17, Oct. 29–Nov. 1, 2017, Baltimore, MD, USA BrailleSketch: A Gesture-based Text Input Method for People with Visual Impairments Mingzhe Li, Mingming Fan, Khai N. Truong Department of Computer Science University of Toronto [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT onscreen keyboard with screen reader software, such as Apple’s In this paper, we present BrailleSketch, a gesture-based text input VoiceOver. However, this approach results in a very low text method on touchscreen smartphones for people with visual entry speed [4]. Alternatively, people can use speech recognition impairments. To input a letter with BrailleSketch, a user simply software to input text at a much faster rate [3]. However, speaking sketches a gesture that passes through all dots in the in public places may not always be appropriate and can introduce corresponding Braille code for that letter. BrailleSketch allows privacy concerns. A growing body of research has been exploring users to place their fingers anywhere on the screen to begin a ways to leverage the user’s ability to perform touch and multi- gesture and draw the Braille code in many ways. To encourage touch gesture inputs on mobile devices. For example, BrailleTap users to type faster, BrailleSketch does not provide immediate [9], TypeInBraille [15], Perkinput [4], and BrailleEasy [23] enable letter-level audio feedback but instead provides word-level audio the user to type Braille by performing multiple taps sequentially to feedback. It uses an auto-correction algorithm to correct typing specify the dot codes for the desire letter—this can be time errors. -
Texture Perception in Sighted and Blind Observers
Perception & Psychophysics /989. 45 (I). 49-54 Texture perception in sighted and blind observers MORTON A. HELLER Winston-Salem State University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the utility of visual imagery for texture per ception. In Experiment 1, sighted, early-blind, and late-blind observers made relative smooth ness judgments of abrasive surfaces using active or passive touch. In Experiment 2, subjects com pared vision and touch in the accuracy of smoothness detection, using a broad range of textures, including very fine surfaces. No differences appeared between the sighted and the blind, and it did not matter iftouch were active or passive. Vision and touch showed similar performance with relatively coarse textures, but touch was superior to vision for much finer surface textures. The results were consistent with the notion that visual coding oftactual stimuli is not advantageous (or necessary) for texture perception, since touch may hold advantages for the detection of the smoothness of surfaces. The present study was directed toward an evaluation subjected to tilt. Although the benefits of visual imagery ofthe necessity ofvisual imagery for texture perception. are likely to be pronounced in form perception, it is not Some researchers have claimed that visual images are known whether visualization aids in texture judgments. necessary for tactual perception of form by sighted in One would expect that observers would tend to visual dividuals (e.g., Pick, 1974). There are numerous reports ize for stimulus dimensions in which vision provides su of the benefits of visual imagery for memory in the sighted perior performance, as in form perception. -
SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021
SARE, Vol. 58, Issue 1 | 2021 Making Space for Myth: Worldbuilding and Interconnected Narratives in Mythspace Francis Paolo Quina University of the Philippines-Diliman, Quezon City, the Philippines Abstract The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding, spawning not only imaginary worlds but multiverses that have become international transmedial franchises. In the Philippines, komiks (as it is called locally) has provided the Filipino popular imagination with worlds populated by superheroes, super spies, supernatural detectives, and creatures from different Philippine mythologies. The komiks series Mythspace, written by Paolo Chikiamco and illustrated by several artist-collaborators, takes the latter concept, and launches it into outer space. Classified by its own writer as a “Filipino space opera” consisting of six loosely interconnected stories, Mythspace presents a storyworld where the creatures of Philippine lower mythologies are based on various alien species that visited the Philippines long ago. The article will examine the use of interconnected narratives as a strategy for worldbuilding in Mythspace. Drawing from both subcreation and comic studies, this article posits that interconnected narratives is a worldbuilding technique particularly well-suited to comics, and that the collaborative nature of the medium allows for a diversity of genres and visual styles that can be used by future komiks creators to develop more expansive storyworlds. Keywords: comics studies, subcreation studies, storyworlds, Mythspace, the Philippines The comics medium has long proven to be fertile ground for worldbuilding. It has spawned not only storyworlds in the pages of comic books and graphic novels but given birth to multiverses of storytelling across several media. -

The Second Song Continues... … and It Was Glorious. Before the Humans Even Existed, It Is Worth Mentioning That There Have Been Previous Beings Before Them
...the Second Song continues... … and it was Glorious. Before the humans even existed, it is worth mentioning that there have been previous beings before them. The Lipod, the winged wind-people, and the Magindara, the snake-tailed water-people, have existed much before they have. The tamawo and the palesekan fought amongst themselves in the Corpse of Kalibutan, claiming patches of forestry and life. The palesekan became the Children of the Trees, while the tamawo became the Children of the Crystal, creating large crystalline cities as opposed to the palesekan’s smaller forest-tribes. The dalaketnon wandered across the world and eventually found one of the caves to Sulad, the Underworld. There they met Saragnayan, Lord of Darkness. And so, during the first few years of the Epoch of Heroes, the humans lived in constant fear of various halimaw and yawa, which came from the Sea, for the Sea was the corpse of the Orphaned Spirit. The other races also subjugated humanity under their rule, even the Dragon Lords that were the eventual descendants of the Naga Tribe of the magindara. It wasn't long before The Actor of Power had returned from His voyage, and he found that all of the world was filled with death and travesty, crumbling underneath the crippling weight of the Mad Sky's tyranny. He sought to reason with the Mad Sky, who only ended up cursing him and banishing him from the world. Filled with wrathful revolution, he gave to Magu'yawan the instructions of creating powerful essences of pure, coruscating power -- he tasked Magu’yawan to collect the God-Shards of the Primordials: the Furious Rebellious Shard of Kalibutan, the Glorious Warrior Spirit of Adlaw, the Reaping Shadow Specter of Bulan, and the Burning Thousand Points of Suga. -
