• Smart Glasses for CVI: Co-Designing Extended Reality Solutions to Support Environmental Perception by People with Cerebral Visual Impairment

  Bhanuka Gamage, Nicola McDowell, Dijana Kovacic, Leona Holloway, Thanh-Toan Do, Arthur James Lowery, Nicholas Price, Kim Marriott · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper presents the first co-design study developing and evaluating smart glasses as an assistive platform for adults with cerebral visual impairment (CVI). CVI is set to become the leading cause of vision impairment, yet it remains dramatically underrepresented in assistive…

• From the Lab to People's Home: Lessons from Accessing Blind Participants' Interactions via Smart Glasses in Remote Studies

  Kyungjun Lee, Jonggi Hong, Ebrima Jarjue, Ernest Essuah Mensah, Hernisa Kacorri · 2022 · Proceedings of the 19th International Web for All Conference (W4A)

  This paper from the University of Maryland explores using smart glasses as an observational tool in remote usability studies with blind participants. The COVID-19 pandemic forced accessibility researchers to shift from in-person to remote methods, but standard remote setups —…

• Access on Demand: Real-time, Multi-modal Accessibility for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing based on Augmented Reality

  Roshan Mathew, Brian Mak, Wendy Dannels · 2022 · Proceedings of the 24th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '22)

  This experience report documents two deaf researchers' hands-on evaluation of Access on Demand (AoD), an augmented reality application developed at Rochester Institute of Technology that delivers real-time captioning and American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation through Vuzix…

• 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…

• Accessing Passersby Proxemic Signals through a Head-Worn Camera: Opportunities and Limitations for the Blind

  Kyungjun Lee, Daisuke Sato, Saki Asakawa, Chieko Asakawa, Hernisa Kacorri · 2021 · Proceedings of the 23rd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '21)

  This paper explores the potential and limitations of using head-worn cameras with computer vision to help blind people access proxemic signals — the spatial behaviour of nearby people that sighted individuals perceive visually, such as someone's presence, distance, relative…

• Pedestrian Detection with Wearable Cameras for the Blind: A Two-way Perspective

  Kyungjun Lee, Daisuke Sato, Saki Asakawa, Hernisa Kacorri, Chieko Asakawa · 2020 · Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

  Wearable cameras — embedded in commercial products like OrCam, Aira, and eSight — promise blind users equitable access to visual information about the people around them: who is approaching, where they are looking, whether eye contact is possible. But the always-on nature of…
