• Detecting the Hand-Mouthing Behavior of Children with Intellectual Disability Using Kinect Imaging Technology

  Tzu-Wei Wei · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This short paper presents a system that uses Microsoft Kinect depth-sensing technology to automatically detect hand-mouthing behavior in children with severe intellectual disabilities. Hand-mouthing — the repetitive placement of fingers into the mouth — affects approximately 17%…

• Kinempt: A Kinect-Based Prompting System to Transition Autonomously Through Vocational Tasks for Individuals with Cognitive Impairments

  Yu-Chi Tsai · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This short paper presents Kinempt (a portmanteau of "kinetic" and "prompt"), a Kinect-based task prompting system designed to help individuals with cognitive impairments perform vocational tasks independently. The research is motivated by the fact that people with cognitive…

• Non-Visual-Cueing-Based Sensing and Understanding of Nearby Entities in Aided Navigation

  Juan Diego Gomez, Guido Bologna, Thierry Pun · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This demonstration paper presents a context-aware navigation aid system for blind individuals that combines three levels of assistance to enhance understanding of the surrounding environment. The system addresses a fundamental challenge: blind people navigating unfamiliar…

• Face Tracking User Interfaces Using Vision-Based Consumer Devices

  Norman H. Villaroman · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '12)

  This short paper investigates the design and implementation of face tracking user interfaces built with consumer-grade vision and depth-sensing devices, specifically the Microsoft Kinect. The research addresses the needs of users who cannot effectively use traditional…

• Exploration and Avoidance of Surrounding Obstacles for the Visually Impaired

  Limin Zeng, Denise Prescher, Gerhard Weber · 2012 · Proceedings of the 14th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2012)

  This paper presents the 3DOD (3D Obstacle Detector), a wearable system that combines a 3D Time-of-Flight (TOF) camera with a portable multi-line refreshable Braille display to help blind pedestrians detect and avoid obstacles beyond the reach of a white cane. White canes detect…
