• WeAllWalk: An Annotated Data Set of Inertial Sensor Time Series from Blind Walkers

  German H. Flores, Roberto Manduchi (2016) — Proceedings of the 18th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '16)

  This paper introduces WeAllWalk, an openly accessible and annotated data set of inertial sensor time series collected from blind individuals walking through complex indoor routes. The data set addresses a critical gap in assistive navigation research…

• WeAllWalk: An Annotated Dataset of Inertial Sensor Time Series from Blind Walkers

  Germán H. Flores, Roberto Manduchi (2018) — ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing (TACCESS)

  This paper introduces WeAllWalk, an annotated dataset of inertial sensor time series collected from blind and sighted walkers navigating complex indoor routes. Ten blind volunteers (seven using a long cane, one using a guide dog, and two alternating …
