Previous research has highlighted that blind and visually impaired people find various
factors inhibit their abilities to make journeys. This paper proposes that the lack of …

We present an end-to-end prototype for an assistive EyeWear system aimed at Vision
Impaired users. The system uses computer vision to detect objects on planar surfaces and …

3D virtual environments are increasingly used for education, business and recreation but
are often inaccessible to users who are visually impaired, effectively creating a digital divide …

Authors started to develop a training method that combined “sound localization” and
“obstacle perception” by using acoustic virtual reality technologies for the orientation and …

This paper investigates the addition of spatial auditory feedback as a tool to assist people
with visual impairments in the use of computers, specifically in tasks involving iconic visual …

This study assessed participant performance of an outdoor navigation task using a mobile
audio augmented reality system. Several quantitative performance measures and one …

Sound localization is a crucial aspect of human auditory perception. VR (virtual reality)
technologies provide immersive audio platforms that allow human listeners to experience …

Obstacle avoidance is a major challenge during independent mobility for blind or visually
impaired (BVI) people. Typically, BVI people can only perceive obstacles at a short distance …

This paper describes a new assistive technology for sightless persons based on a virtual
auditory display (VAD). This system is intended to encourage its users to improve their map …

Sounds provide vital information such as spatial and interaction cues in virtual reality (VR)
applications to convey more immersive experiences to VR users. However, it may be a …
