• Vision-Based Assistive Technologies for People with Cerebral Visual Impairment: A Review and Focus Study

  Bhanuka Gamage, Leona Holloway, Nicola McDowell, Thanh-Toan Do, Nicholas Price, Arthur Lowery, Kim Marriott (2024) — ASSETS '24: Proceedings of the 26th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper reveals a significant research gap in assistive technology for people with cerebral visual impairment (CVI) through a scoping review and focus studies. CVI is caused by damage to the brain's visual processing centres rather than the eyes t…
