Mobile devices are very important to blind people’s autonomy and social life. Likewise, Social Networking Sites (SNS) promote social inclusion and are widely used by blind people. Previous research already focused on the accessibility of mobile devices and SNS in separate; however, little effort has been made to understand the barriers that blind people face when interacting with mobile social ...

Current screen-reader program used by the blind people to access the Internet inflicts navigation restrictions since the blind users can only perceive the content in serial mode. The serialized access using screen-reader program restricts the blind users from having the multi-dimensional effects required to fully understand the page layout. We believe that by accessing web pages using bi-modal ...

Even with emerging technologies, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) systems, understanding how our brains work is a very difficult challenge. So we propose to use a data mining technique to help us in this task. As a case of study, we analyzed the brain's behaviour of blind people and sighted people in a spatial activity. There is a common belief that blind people compensate their lack of ...

Blind People uses white canes to aid in obstacle detection & avoidance. Guide dogs can also be of limited aid for finding the way to a remote location. So our goal is to create a portable, simple less costly system that will allow Blind peoples to travel through familiar and unfamiliar environments without the aid of guides. Several guidance system has been developed for vision impaired people,...

In this paper we discuss the design of computer-based haptic graphs for blind and visually impaired people with the support of our preliminary experimental results. Since visual impairment makes data visualisation techniques inappropriate for blind people, we are developing a system which can make graphs accessible through haptic and audio media. The disparity between human haptic perception an...

The proliferation of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) has presented several serious accessibility problems to blind people. Existing approaches to overcome such problems are customised to specific environments and are restrictive in their scope. Moreover, they do not take into consideration the specific dialogue requirements of the various graphical applications. It is argued that in order to r...

Braille is the language used by the blind people for developing their learning and writing skills. Braille code is widely used by the blind people all over the world to become educated and led their life successfully. In this paper I presented the development of the whole system which converts Gurmukhi to braille.
