ABSTRACT
I developed a system for mobile devices for crowdsourcing landmarks around bus stops for blind transit riders. The main focus of my research is to develop a method to provide reliable and accurate information about landmarks around bus stops to blind transit riders. In addition to that, my research focuses on understanding how access to such information affects their use of public transportation.

Making Real-World Interfaces Accessible Through Crowdsourcing, Computer Vision, and Fabrication
W4A '17: Proceedings of the 14th International Web for All ConferenceThe world is full of physical interfaces that are inaccessible to blind people, from microwaves and information kiosks to thermostats and checkout terminals. Blind people cannot independently use such devices without at least first learning their layout,...
