The development of navigation tools for people who are visually impaired had become an
important concern in the research area of assistive technologies. This paper gives a …

Assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind people is a research field that is
gaining increasing prominence owing to an explosion of new interest in it from disparate …

The study of algorithms to automatically answer visual questions currently is motivated by
visual question answering (VQA) datasets constructed in artificial VQA settings. We propose …

In this paper, we describe interdependence for assistive technology design, a frame
developed to complement the traditional focus on independence in the Assistive Technology …

We designed and deployed automatic alt-text (AAT), a system that applies computer vision
technology to identify faces, objects, and themes from photos to generate photo alt-text for …

In this paper, we explore blind people's motivations, challenges, interactions, and
experiences with visual content on Social Networking Services (SNSs). We present findings …

The challenges faced by blind people in their everyday lives are not well understood. In this
paper, we report on the findings of a large-scale study of the visual questions that blind …

We introduce the first visual privacy dataset originating from people who are blind in order to
better understand their privacy disclosures and to encourage the development of algorithms …

Current approaches to AI and Assistive Technology (AT) often foreground task completion
over other encounters such as expressions of care. Our paper challenges and complements …

Social media is an increasingly important part of modern life. We investigate the use of and
usability of Twitter by blind users, via a combination of surveys of blind Twitter users, large …
