  • Using Real-time Feedback to Improve Visual Question Answering

    Yu Zhong, Phyo Thiha, Grant He, Walter Lasecki, Jeffrey Bigham · 2012 · CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

    This work-in-progress paper introduces Legion:View, a system that extends the VizWiz model of crowd-powered visual question answering by adding a real-time feedback loop between blind users and crowd workers. The original VizWiz allowed blind users to take a still photograph,…
