• VizWiz Grand Challenge: Answering Visual Questions from Blind People (2018, methodology): “Our work builds off previous work [8] which established a mobile phone application that supported blind people to ask over 70,000 visual questions [10] by taking a photo and asking a question about it.”
• Captioning Images Taken by People Who Are Blind (2020, background): “, mostly white or mostly black), focus, and more [12, 23].”
• "Person, Shoes, Tree. Is the Person Naked?" What People with Vision Impairments Want in Image Descriptions (2020, background): “Human-powered approaches [5] provide near-real-time descriptions of images through crowdsourcing [4, 45], friendsourcing [7], and social microvolunteering [6].”
• Answering visual questions with conversational crowd assistants (2013, background): “In its first year, over 40,000 questions were asked by VizWiz users, providing important information about the accessibility problems faced by blind people in their everyday lives [4].”
• Privacy Concerns and Behaviors of People with Visual Impairments (2015, background): “In fact, the visually impaired people Facebook status updates more frequently than average, while sharing and commenting on just as many photos [33], in part because these platforms help overcome challenges in interacting with others [6].”
• Interdependence as a Frame for Assistive Technology Research and Design (2018, background): “Research regarding on-demand assistance focuses on systems, like VizWiz and RegionSpeak [4,6,62], that connect a disabled person in need of assistance with a remote crowd worker.”
• Real time object scanning using a mobile phone and cloud-based visual search engine (2013, background): “Prior study shows that identification is the most common visual challenge for which blind people seek help from access technology (41% of four categories of questions) [4].”
