• Comparing Two Safe Distance Maintenance Algorithms for a Gaze-Controlled HRI Involving Users with SSMI

  Vinay Krishna Sharma, L. R. D. Murthy, Pradipta Biswas · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper presents an eye gaze-controlled augmented reality interface for operating a tabletop robotic arm, designed specifically for people with severe speech and motor impairment (SSMI). Users with SSMI often cannot manipulate physical objects due to spasticity but are…

• Shared Privacy Concerns of the Visually Impaired and Sighted Bystanders with Camera-Based Assistive Technologies

  Taslima Akter, Tousif Ahmed, Apu Kapadia, Manohar Swaminathan · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  This paper investigates the privacy and ethical concerns surrounding camera-based assistive technologies (like smart glasses) from two perspectives: people with visual impairments (PVIs) as technology wearers and sighted people as bystanders who might be observed. The…

• AIGuide: Augmented Reality Hand Guidance in a Visual Prosthetic

  Sooyeon Lee, Chien Wen Yuan, So-yeon Yoon, John M. Carroll · 2022 · ACM Transactions on Accessible Computing

  AIGuide is an iOS smartphone application designed as a "visual prosthetic" to help people with visual impairments locate and physically reach objects in their environment. The app addresses what the authors call the "last meter problem"—while existing object detection apps like…
