Interactive Tracking of Movable Objects for the Blind on the Basis of Environment Models and Perception-Oriented Object Recognition Methods
This paper from the University of Stuttgart presents advances to an indoor navigation and object identification system for blind and deafblind users. The system combines a stereo camera and 3D inertial sensor mounted on a bicycle helmet with detailed…

Design and Development of an Indoor Navigation and Object Identification System for the Blind
This paper presents a multi-sensor orientation assistant for blind users navigating unknown indoor environments. The system addresses three core problems identified by blind users: determining one's position, determining head direction and movement d…

VRML-Based Representations of ASL Fingerspelling on the World Wide Web
This paper presents techniques for representing American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling using 3D hand models in VRML 2.0 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) on the World Wide Web. The authors argue that VRML offers a more effective way to documen…

Computer Generated 3-Dimensional Models of Manual Alphabet Handshapes for the World Wide Web
This paper from Gallaudet University and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center presents a web-based teaching tool for learning American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling through interactive 3D computer models. The authors created VRML (Virtual Reality Mo…

Multi-view Mouth Renderization for Assisting Lip-reading
This paper presents an assistive tool that uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to enhance video for people who rely on lip-reading. The core problem is that lip-readers generally prefer a frontal view of a speaker's face, but in real-world vi…

Haptic and Auditive Mesh Inspection for Blind 3D Modelers
This paper presents an affordable audio-haptic system that enables blind and severely visually impaired people to independently inspect 3D mesh objects they create using constructive geometry programming languages like OpenSCAD. Blind 3D modelers typ…

Haptic and Auditive Mesh Inspection for Blind 3D Modelers
This paper addresses a critical gap in accessible 3D modeling for blind users. While constructive geometry programming languages like OpenSCAD allow blind modelers to write text-based code to create 3D objects (accessible via screen readers and brail…
