Design of a Smart Braille Fitness Watch: Promoting Healthy Living For Design of a Smart Braille Fitness Watch: Promoting Healthy Living for the Visually Impaired Unwana Michael Umoren David Ho Simon Connolly University of Bath University of Bath University of Bath United Kingdom United Kingdom United Kingdom [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Group 4 Group 4 Group 4 ABSTRACT impaired) are most likely to be less physically active than Physical activity plays a vital role in promoting healthy those without disabilities [9]. As a result of their less activity, living. Deficiency in physical activity increases vulnerability there are more susceptible to chronic diseases [9]. This to chronic diseases (such as cancer, obesity, etc. and reduced physical activity in visually impaired people is usually leads to a high rate of mortality. Physical inactivity is posed by barriers such as: reliance on other people exercise particularly common amongst the visually impaired than the assistance, transportation to the place of exercise and limited visually unimpaired. The visually impaired having decreased or no options available [8]. participation in physical activity due to certain barriers such This paper presents a prototype of a smart braille fitness as cost, transportation, etc, are prone to chronic diseases and watch for the visually impaired. The smartwatch aims at death in critical cases. To eliminate the barriers to physical promoting healthy living by increasing the physical activity activity experienced by visually impaired people, a prototype of visually impaired people. It employs the braille and audio of a smart braille fitness watch was designed. This paper technology to interact with the visually impaired user. The presents qualitative research using a case study of a visually braille technology allows the user to interact with the watch impaired undergraduate student Susie. The smart fitness while the displays/actions on the screen are being read aloud to braille watch was specifically designed following Susie’s the user. Also, health information such as the number of steps specifications. It uses braille technology and accepts voice taken per day, calories burnt and heart rates are fed back to the inputs from the user. Information such as time of the day, user. In the event of inactivity, a reminder is sent to the user to number of steps taken, heart rate and calories burnt are sent carry out tasks such as walking, running, etc., thus reducing the back to the user. Health reminders in the event of inactivity physical inactivity in visually impaired people. This research is also a functionality present in the watch to monitor and seeks to proffer solutions to the challenge of physical inactivity promote physical activity. This prototype was tested by Susie experienced by visually impaired individuals by removing the and feedback showed that it increased her level of physical barrier of cost, transportation and information retrieval. activity than in the past. Therefore, this research provides a solution to the physical inactivity experienced by visually impaired people. BACKGROUND According to the World Health Organization (WHO), statistics Author Keywords as of 2018 show that at least 2.2 billion people globally are Physical activity, healthy living, smart braille fitness watch, visually impaired [18]. Numerous studies have also shown visually impaired, prototype. that deficiency in the physical activities by visually impaired individuals impacts their quality of life [10]. With vision INTRODUCTION being extremely important for performance of daily activities Physical activity is one of the most important aspects of [3], physical activity is difficult to carry out when visually healthy living [13]. National Health Services (NHS) in the impaired [12]. physical activity guideline recommends that regular physical Studies by Haegele et al demonstrates that people living activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity with disabilities are less physically active than those living or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week) should without disabilities [9,2]. This research explores reasons be carried out by adults (abled and disabled) between the why individuals living with visual impairments may or may ages of 19 to 64 to improve their overall health [11]. Regular not engage in physical activities. It provides theoretical participation in physical activities promotes both physiological determinants of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in and psychological health [10]. Lack of physical activity poses visually impaired and analyses their beliefs about engagement risk of cardiovascular diseases and chronic diseases such as in physical activity. diabetes, cancer, obesity, bone/joint diseases and depression [17]. Research shows that individuals who engage in regular Carroll et al, explains that half of individuals living with physical activity are less likely to suffer from health-related disabilities are physically inactive and 50 percent are prone issues than those who are not [8]. Further researches show to chronic diseases as a result of physical inactivity [5]. The that people living with disabilities (especially the visually results of this research showed that physical inactivity was on 1 the high side among those living with disabilities than those as sound and touch) and braille for communication. In order living without disabilities with case study of United States. to navigate to the campus and other places, she uses a guide This confirms Haegele et al’s research on the beliefs about dog. She uses the screen reader to access her phone and laptop. physical activity and sedentary behaviors of adults with visual From the several interviews conducted with the participant, her impairments. major challenge is engaging in physical activity due to certain barriers which are: Transportation, cost and information Starkoff et al proves that visually impaired people spend more retrieval. With Susie’s pain points as a case study, the smart time engaging in sedentary activities (activities involving braille fitness watch was designed to solve the problem of seating) than physical activities such as: walking, running, physical inactivity faced by Susie as a result of being visually etc. [15]. The descriptive study identifies sedentary trends impaired. In order to better understand Susie’s problem, in individuals with visual impairments with the goal of not interviews were conducted. only improving their quality of life through physical activity but minimise the negative impacts of prolonged involvements Interview/ Discussion of Current Solutions in sedentary activities. This research proves that visually This interview aimed to get a better understanding of the impaired individuals engage less in physical activity and more physical activity problems Susie encountered. The session in sedentary activities which hampers their health and overall lasted for about 30 minutes. A questionnaire was read out to quality of life. Susie and the answers were documented. From this session, Susie pointed out several barriers to engaging in physical Psychometric Study conducted by Ellen Armstrong et al on 41 activity which included: transportation to the gyms which are children living with visual impairments in USA showed these far off, employing a personal trainer was quite expensive for children had low physical activity as a result of the barriers her, she prefers her own space when it comes to exercise, not encountered as a result of being visually impaired [2]. being able to gain access to the right kind of exercise and Reports by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention finally not being able to use the current solutions. The current USA (CDC) in 2010 show that visually impaired people are solutions Susie has and her feedback on them are as follows: at a higher risk of developing health problem due to their sedentary lifestyle [7]. This further proves the effect of Susie’s Current Solutions to Physical Inactivity and Major physical inactivity has on the visually impaired. Drawbacks 1.

  • Colorwatch: Color Perceptual Spatial Tactile Interface for People with Visual Impairments
    electronics Article ColorWatch: Color Perceptual Spatial Tactile Interface for People with Visual Impairments Muhammad Shahid Jabbar 1 , Chung-Heon Lee 1 and Jun Dong Cho 1,2,* 1 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Gyeonggi-do, Korea; [email protected] (M.S.J.); [email protected] (C.-H.L.) 2 Department of Human ICT Convergence, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 16419, Gyeonggi-do, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Tactile perception enables people with visual impairments (PVI) to engage with artworks and real-life objects at a deeper abstraction level. The development of tactile and multi-sensory assistive technologies has expanded their opportunities to appreciate visual arts. We have developed a tactile interface based on the proposed concept design under considerations of PVI tactile actuation, color perception, and learnability. The proposed interface automatically translates reference colors into spatial tactile patterns. A range of achromatic colors and six prominent basic colors with three levels of chroma and values are considered for the cross-modular association. In addition, an analog tactile color watch design has been proposed. This scheme enables PVI to explore artwork or real-life object color by identifying the reference colors through a color sensor and translating them to the tactile interface. The color identification tests using this scheme on the developed prototype exhibit good recognition accuracy. The workload assessment and usability evaluation for PVI demonstrate promising results. This suggest that the proposed scheme is appropriate for tactile color exploration.

Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2015 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. The development of writing and preliterate societies Cynthia Tung Advisor: MJ Connolly Program in Linguistics Slavic and Eastern Languages Department Boston College April 2015 Abstract This paper explores the question of script choice for a preliterate society deciding to write their language down for the first time through an exposition on types of writing systems and a brief history of a few writing systems throughout the world. Societies sometimes invented new scripts, sometimes adapted existing ones, and other times used a combination of both these techniques. Based on the covered scripts ranging from Mesopotamia to Asia to Europe to the Americas, I identify factors that influence the script decision including neighboring scripts, access to technology, and the circumstances of their introduction to writing. Much of the world uses the Roman alphabet and I present the argument that almost all preliterate societies beginning to write will choose to use a version of the Roman alphabet. However, the alphabet does not fit all languages equally well, and the paper closes out withan investigation into some of these inadequacies and how languages might resolve these issues.

IGNED LANGUAGES around the world have tended to maintain an “oral,” unwritten status. Despite the advantages of possessing a written form of their language, signed language communities typically resist and reject attempts to create such written forms. The present article ad - dresses many of the arguments against written forms of signed lan - guages, and presents the potential advantages of writing signed languages. Following a history of the development of writing in spoken as well as signed language populations, the effects of orthographic types upon literacy and biliteracy are explored. Attempts at writing signed lan - guages have followed two primary paths: “alphabetic” and “icono - graphic.” It is argued that for greatest congruency and ease in developing biliteracy strategies in societies where an alphabetic script is used for the spoken language, signed language communities within Sthese societies are best served by adoption of an alphabetic script for DONALD A.

Cook * * Phoenix, Az.. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute some new ideas for implementation of a spelling reform. As a businessman running a small computer company, I am undoubtedly in a very small minority among a group of educators. Yet I have been irritated by the difficulty of English spelling and have been interested in spelling reform for many years. I had actually started an independent development of a set of rationalized rules for spelling reform before I became aware of the large amount of work done by this group and other groups.
