Abstract:Smart appliances with built-in cameras, such as the Nest Cam and Amazon Echo Look, are becoming pervasive. They hold the promise of bringing high fidelity, contextually rich sensing into our homes, workplaces and other environments. Despite recent and impressive advances, computer vision systems are still limited in the types of sensing questions they can answer, and more importantly, do not easily generalize across diverse human environments. In response, researchers have investigated hybrid crowd- and AI-pow… Show more
“…For those aspects of our participants' challenges that can be addressed by improved technology, we see promise in emerging approaches such as general-purpose, personalizable sensor models like Zensors++ [28,40], though the setup and training processes may need simplifcation for widespread deployment to nontechnical end-users. Personalized ML approaches, such as Project Euphonia [27] (which explores making voice-activated systems work better for people with disabilities that impact their speech), also show promise, though such eforts are in early stages and the trade-ofs of personalized vs. universal approaches must be considered carefully.…”
Sensing technologies that implicitly and explicitly mediate digital experiences are an increasingly pervasive part of daily living; it is vital to ensure that these technologies work appropriately for people with physical disabilities. We conducted on online survey with 40 adults with physical disabilities, gathering open-ended descriptions about respondents' experiences with a variety of sensing systems, including motion sensors, biometric sensors, speech input, as well as touch and gesture systems. We present fndings regarding the many challenges status quo sensing systems present for people with physical disabilities, as well as the ways in which our participants responded to these challenges. We conclude by refecting on the signifcance of these fndings for defning a future research agenda for creating more inclusive sensing systems. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile computing; Accessibility; • Computing methodologies → Artifcial intelligence; • Social and professional topics → People with disabilities.

“… Evaluation Metrics:-Mean Average Precision (chart) generally used metric to assess object perfection-recall trade-offs across different IOU thresholds. Crossroad over Union (IOU) Measures the discovery performance, considering imbrication between prognosticated and ground-verity bounding boxes, pivotal for localization delicacy evaluation [6].…”
Artificial Intelligence is the arising field of computer wisdom which is nearly associated to logic, logical answering analogous to that of the humans but in important effective and faster way. On the other hand, cameras are used for colourful other purpose like for security purposes etc. When similar cameras and the artificial intelligence along with important some languages like python are integrated together it becomes easier to reuse the data and cover it with important perfection and delicacy. This technology works without any mortal intervention. It means that if there are many people and further no of places to cover also we can use this technology to cover the camera with utmost perfection.
“…Moreover, how to suitably label and describe human appearance, especially the marginalized groups, is another important question to consider [4,33,40]. Besides refining the algorithms and datasets from the computer vision perspective [77], HCI solutions could also be adopted, for example, indicating the potential inaccuracy of the recognized results to users [54,91], or leveraging human-AI collaboration to achieve more reliable results [32,51].…”
Section: Design Implications For Avatar Diversity and Accessibilitymentioning
In social Virtual Reality (VR), users are embodied in avatars and interact with other users in a face-to-face manner using avatars as the medium. With the advent of social VR, people with disabilities (PWD) have shown an increasing presence on this new social media. With their unique disability identity, it is not clear how PWD perceive their avatars and whether and how they prefer to disclose their disability when presenting themselves in social VR. We fill this gap by exploring PWD's avatar perception and disability disclosure preferences in social VR. Our study involved two steps. We first conducted a systematic review of fifteen popular social VR applications to evaluate their avatar diversity and accessibility support. We then conducted an in-depth interview study with 19 participants who had different disabilities to understand their avatar experiences. Our research revealed a number of disability disclosure preferences and strategies adopted by PWD (e.g., reflect selective disabilities, present a capable self). We also identified several challenges faced by PWD during their avatar customization process. We discuss the design implications to promote avatar accessibility and diversity for future social VR platforms.
