    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.

  • Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 a Study for the Library of Congress
    1 Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 A Study for the Library of Congress Part 1: New Scripts Jack Cain Senior Consultant Trylus Computing, Toronto 1 Purpose This assessment intends to study the issues and make recommendations on the possible expansion of the character set repertoire for bibliographic records in MARC21 format. 1.1 “Encoding Scheme” vs. “Repertoire” An encoding scheme contains codes by which characters are represented in computer memory. These codes are organized according to a certain methodology called an encoding scheme. The list of all characters so encoded is referred to as the “repertoire” of characters in the given encoding schemes. For example, ASCII is one encoding scheme, perhaps the one best known to the average non-technical person in North America. “A”, “B”, & “C” are three characters in the repertoire of this encoding scheme. These three characters are assigned encodings 41, 42 & 43 in ASCII (expressed here in hexadecimal). 1.2 MARC8 "MARC8" is the term commonly used to refer both to the encoding scheme and its repertoire as used in MARC records up to 1998. The ‘8’ refers to the fact that, unlike Unicode which is a multi-byte per character code set, the MARC8 encoding scheme is principally made up of multiple one byte tables in which each character is encoded using a single 8 bit byte. (It also includes the EACC set which actually uses fixed length 3 bytes per character.) (For details on MARC8 and its specifications see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/.) MARC8 was introduced around 1968 and was initially limited to essentially Latin script only.

  • 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).

  • Haptiread: Reading Braille As Mid-Air Haptic Information
    HaptiRead: Reading Braille as Mid-Air Haptic Information Viktorija Paneva Sofia Seinfeld Michael Kraiczi Jörg Müller University of Bayreuth, Germany {viktorija.paneva, sofia.seinfeld, michael.kraiczi, joerg.mueller}@uni-bayreuth.de Figure 1. With HaptiRead we evaluate for the first time the possibility of presenting Braille information as touchless haptic stimulation using ultrasonic mid-air haptic technology. We present three different methods of generating the haptic stimulation: Constant, Point-by-Point and Row-by-Row. (a) depicts the standard ordering of cells in a Braille character, and (b) shows how the character in (a) is displayed by the three proposed methods. HaptiRead delivers the information directly to the user, through their palm, in an unobtrusive manner. Thus the haptic display is particularly suitable for messages communicated in public, e.g. reading the departure time of the next bus at the bus stop (c). ABSTRACT Author Keywords Mid-air haptic interfaces have several advantages - the haptic Mid-air Haptics, Ultrasound, Haptic Feedback, Public information is delivered directly to the user, in a manner that Displays, Braille, Reading by Blind People. is unobtrusive to the immediate environment.
