Enhancing Exercise for People Who Are Blind or Low Vision Using Interactive Technology

摘要

There is an opportunity for HCI researchers and designers to develop interactive technologies to enhance exercise for people who are blind or low vision. It is important to engage with this community and domain experts either as active members of the research group or as consultants. This area of research and innovation has several benefits: 1) there is a direct impact for people who are blind or low vision, 2) this work can benefit people who are sighted and prefer not to consume visual information while exercising, and 3) this work can inform a more inclusive design of existing interactive exercise technologies.
