  • A Social-Aware Assistant to Support Individuals with Visual Impairments During Social Interaction: a Systematic Requirements Analysis
    A Social-Aware Assistant to Support Individuals with Visual Impairments during Social Interaction: A Systematic Requirements Analysis María Elena Meza-de-Lunaa, Juan R. Tervenb, Bogdan Raducanuc, Joaquín Salasd,1 aUniversidad Autónoma de Querétaro, México bAiFi Inc., United States cCentro de Visión por Computadora, Spain dInstituto Politécnico Nacional, México Abstract Visual impairment affects the normal course of activities in everyday life in- cluding mobility, education, employment, and social interaction. Most of the existing technical solutions devoted to empowering the visually impaired people are in the areas of navigation (obstacle avoidance), access to printed information and object recognition. Less effort has been dedicated so far in developing solu- tions to support social interactions. In this paper, we introduce a Social-Aware Assistant (SAA) that provides visually impaired people with cues to enhance their face-to-face conversations. The system consists of a perceptive component (represented by smartglasses with an embedded video camera) and a feedback component (represented by a haptic belt). When the vision system detects a head nodding, the belt vibrates, thus suggesting the user to replicate (mirror) the gesture. In our experiments, sighted persons interacted with blind people wearing the SAA. We instructed the former to mirror the noddings according to the vibratory signal, while the latter interacted naturally. After the face-to- face conversation, the participants had an interview to express their experience regarding the use of this new technological assistant. With the data collected during the experiment, we have assessed quantitatively and qualitatively the ∗Send correspondence to: Joaquín Salas.

  • Inclusive Design in the Built Environment Who Do We Design For?
    INCLUSIVE DESIGN IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT WHO DO WE DESIGN FOR? Training Handbook March/April 2016 By Sandra Manley This handbook has been prepared to accompany training delivered on behalf of Welsh Government during March and April 2016 in Aberystwyth, Cardiff, Llandudno and Swansea. It also provides a resource for anyone seeking to understand more about inclusive design and its application. It is important to recognise that the principles of inclusive design and the legislation and regulations relevant to inclusive design are evolving over time. This evolution occurs as society recognises the importance of designing inclusively and moves forward to make improvements. Always check the latest legislation, building regulations and most importantly recent ideas about the philosophy of inclusive design. Remember also that inclusive design needs good, imaginative designers and their designs should result in buildings and spaces that are not only inclusive, but also beautiful. The training and this document have been developed and compiled by Sandra Manley, Visiting Research Fellow, University of the West of England, Bristol. The training was organised and promoted by Design Commission for Wales, RSAW, CEW and RTPI Cymru. Sandra Manley was a Principal Lecturer at the University of the West of England in Bristol for over 35 years where she taught urban designers, planners and architects and acted as Associate Head of the Department of Planning and Architecture. She also ran the department’s Short Course and Conference unit and taught many courses for built environment professionals herself. In childhood she noted how a disabled family member was discriminated against and excluded from mainstream society and this undoubtedly influenced the development of her longstanding concerns about inequality of opportunity for all minority groups and for disabled people in particular.

    Rethinking the Grocery Store: Inclusive Wayfinding System for Visually Impaired Shoppers in Grocery Stores by Doaa Khattab Submitted to OCAD University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design In Inclusive Design Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April 2015 © Doaa Khattab, 2015 ii Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I authorize OCAD University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. I further authorize OCAD University to reproduce this MRP by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. iii Abstract Many people with disabilities face considerable barriers while shopping in grocery stores. One such barrier is that they cannot find their way around easily, especially when they visit the grocery store for the first time and have not yet built a cognitive map in their memory. They may also experience delays in finding the right product or waiting for assistance from store employees, thus leading them to rely on family, friends, relatives, or volunteers to help them with their shopping. Problems start when these people are not available, in which case the individual is forced to cancel their visit to the grocery store and reschedule the trip. Grocery stores include many different zones and services, the aisles area being one of the main barriers to access for people with different disabilities.
