ABSTRACT
We present a multiple-view platform for low vision students that utilizes students' personal smart phone cameras and tablets in the classroom. Low vision or deaf students can independently use the platform to obtain flexible, magnified views of lecture visuals, such as the presentation slides or whiteboard on their personal screen. This platform also enables cooperation among sighted and hearing classmates to provide better views for everyone, including themselves.

MobileAccessibility: camera focalization for blind and low-vision users on the go
There is a significant need for access to low-cost assistive mobile services through standard devices. Many special purpose devices that provide services are specialized for few functions, are usually not networked, and are expensive and difficult to ...
A qualitative study to support a blind photography mobile application
PETRA '13: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive EnvironmentsBoth sighted and visually impaired people value having a photographic memento of a place or an event. However, due to the visually oriented nature of photography and the lack of non-visual cues to indicate the content of the photo, the common belief is ...
TapBeats: accessible and mobile casual gaming
ASSETS '11: The proceedings of the 13th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers and accessibilityConventional video games today rely on visual cues to drive user interaction, and as a result, there are few games for blind and low-vision people. To address this gap, we created an accessible and mobile casual game for Android called TapBeats, a ...
