Safe navigation for the visually impaired individuals remains a critical challenge, especially concerning head-level obstacles, which traditional mobility aids often fail to detect. We introduce GuideTouch, a compact, affordable, standalone…
Artificial agents that support human group interactions hold great promise, especially in sensitive contexts such as well-being promotion and therapeutic interventions. However, current systems struggle to mediate group interactions…
Eye movement is closely related to limb actions, so it can be used to infer movement intentions. More importantly, in some cases, eye movement is the only way for paralyzed and impaired patients with severe movement disorders to communicate…
Human eye tracking devices can help to investigate principles of processing visual information by humans. The attention focus movement during the gaze can be used for behavioural analysis of humans. In this work we describe our experimental…
As social virtual reality (VR) grows more popular, addressing accessibility for blind and low vision (BLV) users is increasingly critical. Researchers have proposed an AI "sighted guide" to help users navigate VR and answer their questions,…
Modern trends in interface design for office equipment using controls on touch surfaces create greater obstacles for blind and visually impaired users and contribute to an environment of dependency in work settings. We believe that…
In this paper a review is presented of the research on eye gaze estimation techniques and applications, that has progressed in diverse ways over the past two decades. Several generic eye gaze use-cases are identified: desktop, TV,…
People who are blind or have low vision regularly use their hands to interact with the physical world to gain access to objects' shape, size, weight, and texture. However, many rich visual features remain inaccessible through touch alone,…
People with visual impairments (PwVI) often have difficulties navigating through unfamiliar indoor environments. However, current wayfinding tools are fairly limited. In this short paper, we present our in-progress work on a wayfinding…
Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, beneficial use cases for hygienic, touchless human-machine interaction have been explored. Gaze input, i.e., information input via eye-movements of users, represents a promising method for contact-free…
This research aims to find where visually impaired users find appliances hard to use and suggest guideline to solve this issue. 181 visually impaired users have been surveyed, and 12 visually impaired users have been selected based on…
This is the preprint version of our paper on 2015 International Conference on Virtual Rehabilitation (ICVR2015). In this paper, we described the imagination scenarios of a touch-less interaction technology for hemiplegia, which can support…
Gaze input, as a modality inherently conveying user intent, offers intuitive and immersive experiences in extended reality (XR). With eye-tracking now being a standard feature in modern XR headsets, gaze has been extensively applied to…
Eye movements can provide informative cues to understand human visual scan/search behavior and cognitive load during varying tasks. Visualizations of real-time gaze measures during tasks, provide an understanding of human behavior as the…
This paper presents a sign language conversation system based on the See-Through Face Display to address the challenge of maintaining eye contact in remote sign language interactions. A camera positioned behind a transparent display allows…
Due to Motor Neurone Diseases, a large population remains disabled worldwide, negatively impacting their independence and quality of life. This typically involves a weakness in the hand and forearm muscles, making it difficult to perform…
Access to textual and visual information for visually impaired persons becomes very difficult with screen readers which are not adapted to different websites.This paper analyses the use of different technologies for access digital content…
The main purpose of the paper is development, implementation, and testing of a low-cost portable system to assist partially paralyzed patients in their hand rehabilitation after strokes or some injures. Rehabilitation includes time…
We present GazeGrasp, a gaze-based manipulation system enabling individuals with motor impairments to control collaborative robots using eye-gaze. The system employs an ESP32 CAM for eye tracking, MediaPipe for gaze detection, and YOLOv8…
In today's society, where independent living is becoming increasingly important, it can be extremely constricting for those who are blind. Blind and visually impaired (BVI) people face challenges because they need manual support to prompt…
