Camera Aiming

Also known as: Camera Pointing, Camera Guidance

The challenge blind users face in correctly positioning and aiming a camera to capture the intended visual content. Since blind users cannot see the camera viewfinder, they may inadvertently capture too much, too little, or entirely unintended content, contributing to privacy risks. Some VAT applications provide audio or haptic guidance to help users aim their cameras, and research participants have suggested that training materials for privacy tools should include camera aiming advice.
