Title
Enabling spatial reading using multimodal system for individuals with blindness
Abstract
In this research, we investigate technology that gives multimodal access to enable Individuals with Blindness or Severe Visual Impairments (IBSVI) to read text documents by fusing audio, spatial, and haptic information. We use the iPad as an exemplar of modern slate devices that combine computation, touch sensing, and audio capabilities as the platform for our research. The preliminary results of our experiments show the functionality of our system, however interaction problems need to be addressed.
