This paper presents a user evaluation of seven sonification methods in two-dimensional
(2D) manual micro-guidance tasks, which can be used as building blocks for spatialized …

This research proposes an evaluation of pitch-based sonification methods via user
experiments in real-life scenarios, specifically vertical guidance, with the aim of …

Sound perception is a fundamental skill for many people with severe sight impairments. The
research presented in this article is part of an ongoing project with the aim to create a mobile …

The paper summarizes a number of audio-related studies conducted by the Sound of Vision
consortium, which focuses on the construction of a new prototype electronic travel aid for the …

Vision loss severely impacts object recognition and spatial cognition for limited vision
individuals. It is a challenge to compensate for this using other sensory modalities, such as …

Introduction As the number of people with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or
have low vision) is continuously increasing, rehabilitation and engineering researchers have …

Access to complex graphical information is essential when connecting blind and visually
impaired (BVI) people with the world. Tactile graphics readers enable access to graphical …

Sighted people predominantly use vision to navigate spaces, and sight loss has negative
consequences for independent navigation and mobility. The recent proliferation of devices …

As access to new technologies becomes increasingly less expensive and complex,
technologies such as virtual reality (VR) are also becoming interesting and relevant for …

This work proposes the use of immersive asymmetric collaboration as an assistive
technology for people who are blind or visually impaired (BVI). Similar to tele-guidance (TG) …
