BBeep: A Sonic Collision Avoidance System for Blind Travellers and Nearby Pedestrians

ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI'19)

http://chi2019.acm.org/

We present an assistive suitcase system, BBeep, for supporting blind people when walking through crowded environments. BBeep uses pre-emptive sound notifications to help clear a path by alerting both the user and nearby pedestrians about the potential risk of collision 그레이브 인카운터 다운로드. BBeep triggers notifications by tracking pedestrians, predicting their future position in real-time, and provides sound notifications only when it anticipates a future collision Download Mr. Shen Shine 23. We investigate how different types and timings of sound affect nearby pedestrian behavior. In our experiments, we found that sound emission timing has a significant impact on nearby pedestrian trajectories when compared to different sound types Download the Yokai Watch coloring book. Based on these findings, we performed a real-world user study at an international airport, where blind participants navigated with the suitcase in crowded areas 남자가 사랑할 때 영화 다운로드. We observed that the proposed system significantly reduces the number of imminent collisions.
