Impact of Expertise on Interaction Preferences for Navigation Assistance of Visually Impaired Individuals
Abstract
Navigation assistive technologies have been designed to support individuals with visual impairments during independent mobility by providing sensory augmentation and contextual awareness of their surroundings. Such information is habitually provided through predefned audio-haptic interaction paradigms. However, individual capabilities, preferences and behavior of people with visual impairments are heterogeneous, and may change due to experience, context and necessity. Therefore, the circumstances and modalities for providing navigation assistance need to be personalized to different users, and through time for each user.

Blind people use a combination of devices and technology to complement their existing orientation and mobility skills, which may lead to a wide variety of navigation styles.
“Furthermore, blind people use a combination of devices and technology to complement their existing orientation and mobility skills (Williams et al., 2014), which may lead to a wide variety of navigation styles (Ahmetovic et al., 2019; Htike et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
