- Abstract
- This paper presents TouchPhoto, which provides visualaudio- tactile assistive features to enable visually-impaired users to take and understand photographs independently. A user can take photographs under auditory guidance and record audio tags to aid later recall of the photographs' contents. For comprehension, the user can listen to audio tags embedded in a photograph while touching salient features, e.g., human faces, using an electrovibration display. We conducted two user studies with visually-impaired users, one for picture taking and the other for understanding and recall, in a two-month interval. They considered auditory assistance as very useful for taking and understanding photographs and tactile features as helpful but to a limited extent. © 2019 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
