Disability-Centered Dataset

A research dataset specifically designed to capture the practices, environments, and experiences of people with disabilities, rather than retrofitting general-purpose datasets for accessibility evaluation. Disability-centered datasets reflect the real variability, messiness, and adaptive strategies of disabled users, providing more authentic benchmarks for assistive AI systems. Examples include datasets of blind users' photos, non-visual cooking videos, and navigation recordings by people with visual impairments, which reveal performance gaps in models trained only on idealized data.
