The Third Wave?: Inclusive Privacy and Security (2017, positive): “Visually impaired users also have privacy concerns about us-ing mobile devices when they are in the speakerphone or screen-reading mode and generally in public because others can see or hear what they are speaking or doing [48, 66, 102].”
Visual challenges in the everyday lives of blind people (2013, background): “Products like talking barcode readers, color identifiers, and talking Optical Character Recognition took the form of expensive, dedicated hardware costing hundreds of dollars [18].”
VizWiz: nearly real-time answers to visual questions (2010, background): “Applications for general-purpose smartphones are beginning toreplacespecial-purposedevices, butblindpeoplestillcarry devices such as GPS-powered navigation aids, barcode readers, light detectors, color identifiers, and compasses [ 13 ].”
Answering visual questions with conversational crowd assistants (2013, background): “These systems are expensive, (typically hundreds of dollars [6]), and often don’t work well in real-world situations.”
Privacy Concerns and Behaviors of People with Visual Impairments (2015, background): “A wide variety of research has studied how technology can assist visually impaired people [7, 9, 26, 31, 34], often high-lighting privacy concerns [16, 21, 27, 34].”
VizWiz: nearly real-time answers to visual questions (2010, background): “Applications for general-purpose smartphones are beginning to replace special-purpose devices, but blind people still carry devices such as GPS-powered navigation aids, barcode readers, light detectors, color identiﬁers, and compasses [13].”
Supporting blind photography (2011, background): “EasySnap successfully achieves two goals: (i) real-time feedback while taking a picture and (ii) generality in assisting a broad deﬁnition of photographs.”
