Blind guidance using mobile computer vision: a usability study

Published: 25 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

We present a study focusing on the usability of a wayfinding and localization system for persons with visual impairment. This system uses special color markers, placed at key locations in the environment, that can be detected by a regular camera phone. Three blind participants tested the system in various indoor locations and under different system settings. Quantitative performance results are reported.
