• Towards LLM-powered Assistive Drone for Blind and Low Vision Users

  Yize Wei, Ibnu Taimiyyah Bin Adam, Hanjun Wu, Moritz Messerschmidt, Wei Tsang Ooi, Christophe Jouffrais, Suranga Nanayakkara · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  Wei and colleagues built and evaluated a voice-based assistive drone prototype for blind and low-vision (BLV) users that leverages GPT-4o in two stages: generating step-by-step Python drone-control code from natural-language commands, and interpreting images captured by the…

• Investigating 'Touch and Talk' for Blind and Low Vision People: Science Communication Assistance Through Exploring Multiple Tactile Objects

  Ayaka Tsutsui, Xiyue Wang, Hironobu Takagi, Chieko Asakawa · 2025 · ASSETS 2025: 27th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This paper investigates how interactive dialogue and multiple tactile 3D models can enhance science communication for blind and low vision (BLV) users. The research addresses a gap in existing tactile learning tools: most Interactive 3D Models (I3Ms) rely on pre-defined audio…

• Speech-Based Cursor Control: A Study of Grid-Based Solutions

  Liwei Dai, Rich Goldman, Andrew Sears, Jeremy Lozier · 2004 · Proceedings of the 6th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets 04)

  This paper investigates grid-based approaches to speech-controlled cursor positioning, addressing a well-documented weakness of speech recognition technology: while dictation-based text entry has improved dramatically, using speech for precise cursor control remains slow and…
