Title
Extracting context from the web to help visually impaired pedestrians develop cognitive maps of their environments
Abstract
A rich cognitive map of an environment can enhance an individual's experience within the space. However, acquiring knowledge about an environment can be challenging for people with visual impairments. They often need support by sighted people to understand what is in the environment, associate meaning to these objects and places, identify where different objects and places are positioned, and their spatial relationship with each other. In this talk, I will present how the power of the Web can be leveraged in ubiquitous computing tools to help a user learn an environment. I will discuss what information is required by visually impaired pedestrians, when and where to provide this information, and also how to collect and present it. Finally, I will describe how this work can be extended to benefit the general population.
