Oris: enhance social self-awareness for visually impaired people

Published: 26 April 2014 Publication History

Abstract

People with visual impairments rely on various technologies to alleviate daily physiological and psychological challenges. In order to introduce our design focus, we first describe our contextual inquiry with target users who are visually impaired. We then study existing technologies that help people with visual impairment to overcome physical limitations. Finally, we propose a potential solution (Fig. 1) to help people who are visually impaired gain self-awareness in social contexts by using body data (facial and gesture) recognition technologies. We also describe future strategies in developing a collaborative platform to help this community further.
