Event Recognition during the Exploration of Line-Based Graphics in Virtual Haptic Environments |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Pictorial representations are widely used in human problem solving. For blind and visually impaired people, haptic interfaces can provide perceptual access to graphical representations. We propose line-based graphics as a type of graphics, which are suitable to be explored by blind and visually impaired people, and which can be successfully augmented with auditory assistance by speech or non-verbal sounds. The central prerequisite for realizing powerful assistive interaction is monitoring the users' haptic exploration and in particular the recognition of exploratory events. The representational layers of line-based graphics as well as of exploration-event descriptions are specified by qualitative spatial propositions. Based on these representations, event recognition is performed by rule-based processes. |
