Visually impaired persons find it difficult to know about their surroundings while walking on a road. Walking sticks used by them can only give them information about the obstacles in the stick's proximity. Moreover, it is mostly effective…

This article focuses on the concept of self-determination and the design and validation of digital tools intended to promote the self-determination of vulnerable people. Self-determination is an essential skill for carrying out daily…

Blind and low-vision (BLV) people face many challenges when venturing into public environments, often wishing it were easier to get help from people nearby. Ironically, while many sighted individuals are willing to help, such interactions…

The hearing-impaired community in India deserves the access to tools that help them communicate, however, there is limited known technology solutions that make use of Indian Sign Language (ISL) at present. Even though there are many ISL…

This paper discusses the issue regarding Non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder. It has been observed that this mental disorder is listed in major parts of the world including the US, UK, and India. To mitigate this type of disorder, a wide…

As digital worlds become ubiquitous via video games, simulations, virtual and augmented reality, people with disabilities who cannot access those worlds are becoming increasingly disenfranchised. More often than not the design of these…

Modern healthcare facilities demand digital accessibility to guarantee equal access to telemedicine platforms, online pharmacy services, and health monitoring devices that can be worn or are handy. With the rising call for the…

It has always been a rather tough task to communicate with someone possessing a hearing impairment. One of the most tested ways to establish such a communication is through the use of sign based languages. However, not many people are aware…

Assistive technologies for adults with Down syndrome (DS) need designs tailored to their specific technology requirements. While prior research has explored technology design for individuals with intellectual disabilities, little is…

The consumption of subtitles via TVs, laptops and smartphones has the potential to marginalize people based on their complex accessibility needs. The current one-size-fits-all approach to this accessibility aid is no longer fit for purpose…

There is accelerating interest in sign language technologies (SLTs), with increasing attention from both industry and academia. However, the perspectives of Deaf and Hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals remain marginalized in their…

Finding a path free from obstacles that poses minimal risk is critical for safe navigation. People who are sighted and people who are visually impaired require navigation safety while walking on a sidewalk. In this research we developed an…

Visually impaired people are neglected from many modern communication and interaction procedures. Assistive technologies such as text-to-speech and braille displays are the most commonly used means of connecting such visually impaired…

Sign language is an essential resource enabling access to communication and proper socioemotional development for individuals suffering from disabling hearing loss. As this population is expected to reach 700 million by 2050, the importance…

Engaging in recreational activities in public spaces poses challenges for blind people, often involving dependency on sighted help. Window shopping is a key recreational activity that remains inaccessible. In this paper, we investigate the…

Data analysis in space sciences has been performed exclusively visually for years, despite the fact that the largest amount of data belongs to non-visible portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This, on the one hand, limits the study of…

Eyes serve as our primary sensory organs, responsible for processing up to 80\% of our sensory input. However, common visual aberrations like myopia and hyperopia affect a significant portion of the global population. This paper focuses on…

This paper presents a self-supervised method for visual detection of the active speaker in a multi-person spoken interaction scenario. Active speaker detection is a fundamental prerequisite for any artificial cognitive system attempting to…

Individuals with language disorders often face significant communication challenges due to their limited language processing and comprehension abilities, which also affect their interactions with voice-assisted systems that mostly rely on…

In this paper, we propose a deep learning based assistive system to improve the environment perception experience of visually impaired (VI). The system is composed of a wearable terminal equipped with an RGBD camera and an earphone, a…
