Abstract
People with Visual Impairments (PVI) experience greater difficulties with daily tasks, such as supermarket shopping. Identifying and purchasing an item proves challenging for PVI. Using a user-centered design process, we understand the difficulties PVI encounter in their daily routines. Consequently, the previous FingerReader model was elevated to a new level. In contrast, FingerReader2.0 incorporates a highly integrated hardware design, as it is standalone, wearable, and not tethered to a computer. Software-wise, the prototype utilizes a deep learning system, relying on a hybrid, an on-board and a cloud-based model. The advanced design significantly extends the range of mobile assistive technology, particularly for shopping purposes. This paper presents the findings from interviews, several iterative studies, and a field study in supermarkets to demonstrate the FingerReader2.0's enhanced capabilities for those with varied levels of visual impairment.
